2024 EPP/MSI Biennial Education and Science Forum

NOAA Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center hosts

Join us on the campus of University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

Save the date: The 11th Biennial NOAA EPP/MSI Education and Science Forum will be held in-person on the campus of University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne, Maryland, from September 24-26, 2024.

The Biennial Education and Science Forum focuses on the important role the NOAA Office of Education’s three EPP/MSI programs play in contributing to the NOAA community. The three programs include NOAA EPP/MSI Cooperative Science Centers (CSCs), the Undergraduate Scholarship Program and the Graduate Fellowship Program. NOAA EPP/MSI partners with minority-serving institutions to develop a future workforce at NOAA and build capacity at these institutions in NOAA mission STEM disciplines. Since 2001, NOAA EPP/MSI institutions have graduated more than 2,000 students in NOAA mission fields. More than 70 percent of graduates are from communities traditionally underrepresented in NOAA mission fields.
