Basic Research in the National Defense: University Contributions to Preparedness

Paul Muzio (AHPCRC-MSCI)

The Army High Performance Computing Research Center participated in a reception/exhibit whose theme was Basic Research in the National Defense: University Contributions of Preparedness for members of Congress and Congressional staffers. The purpose of the reception/exhibit was to inform members of Congress of the importance of university basic research to US economic growth and defense research and technology. The reception/exhibit was organized by the Association of American Universities in conjunction with the Congressional Institute for the Future (CIF). The CIF is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) educational organization that advances research and education about emerging issues. The keynote address was given by Anita Jones, Director, Defense Research and Engineering.
