2024 Researchers' Workshop, August 15-16

The Researchers' Workshop will feature presentations from all active PEER-funded projects from TSRP and PEER-Bridge Programs. The goal of the workshop is to disseminate information about research that is currently ongoing in the Center and to develop interaction between projects across disciplines.

The Workshop will be held in-person at the Richmond Field Station, Building 454.
