TITLE: Service and Manufacturing at the National Science Foundation
SPEAKER: Dr. Cerry M. Klein, Program Director, Service Enterprise Systems, Manufacturing Enterprise Systems, National Science Foundation
ABSTRACT:
Service now accounts for approximately 80% of the economy and manufacturing has held steady at 20%. Research in understanding and promoting these two key areas is essential to the continued growth of our economy and the understanding of how these sectors distinctly operate, interact and compliment each other. This presentation will discuss the efforts and funding opportunities at the National Science Foundation in these areas. Additionally, as part of the presentation an open discussion related to the future of manufacturing and service will be held.
