4th ANNUAL NDSEG CONFERENCE Building and Strengthening US Doctoral Power: Embracing the Possibilities. Location: Hilton Palacio Del Rio, San Antonio Texas July 30th - August 3rd, 2023.

The NDSEG Conference Registration will close on July 14th

Purpose

"Advancing National Defense Through Innovative DoD Research and Collaboration by Building and Strengthening US Doctoral Power"

About

The National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship program provides Fellows with the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree in science and engineering disciplines of military importance. The NDSEG Fellowship is highly competitive and since its inception in 1989, has awarded nearly 4700 fellowships from over 70,000 applications to U.S. citizens and nationals who pursue a doctoral degree in one of fifteen supported disciplines at a U.S. institution of their choosing. Disciplines include the following: Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biosciences (includes toxicology), Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Cognitive, Neural, and Behavioral Sciences (Note: PsyD programs are not eligible), Computer and Computational Sciences, Electrical Engineering, Geosciences (includes terrain, water, and air), Materials Science and Engineering, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering (includes undersea systems), Oceanography (includes ocean acoustics, remote sensing, and marine meteorology), Physics (including optics) and Space Physics

The NDSEG Fellowship is sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), the Army Research Office (ARO), and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) under the direction of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering

As a part of the NDSEG’s Terms of Appointment, Fellows are required to attend a conference during their tenure. This year will be the 4th Annual Conference and will represent the 2021 Class Fellows who are currently in their second year of the NDSEG sponsored program. The conference provides Fellows with an opportunity to meet and network with Current and Former Fellows, DoD Senior Officials and Scientists and Engineers, and industry Researchers as well learning about DoD employment, internships, mentorships, and other research funding opportunities. Fellows are also able to showcase their research, attend technical presentations, participate in poster sessions, visit with Exhibitors, and tour DoD sponsored research centers.
