coe-fac: Open forum on UO research themes, Oct 23

[Shaun Haskins]

Subject: Open forum on UO research themes, Oct 23
Please distribute to the faculty in your units:

You are invited to an open forum on UO Strategic Research Themes, Tuesday October 23 at 11:00 in the EMU Walnut Room.

Last year several hundred faculty came together in a series of meetings to discuss areas of research strength and opportunity across the university. These ideas were captured in six broad research themes: Sustainable Futures; Developing Cells, Minds & Healthy Communities; Identities, Cultures & Connections; Tools & Technologies for Tomorrow; Oregon: a Place, a Laboratory, a Canvas; and Shaping the Information Society.

See http://research.uoregon.edu/highlights/university-oregon-strategic-research-strengths for a full description.

This open forum is intended to provide faculty who were not able to participate in the earlier discussion a chance to hear about the process and intent of the themes, as well as to discuss how their own research programs fit into these broad umbrellas.

Hope to see you there,

Patrick Phillips & Beth Stormshak
Associate Vice Presidents for Research
Research, Innovation and Graduate Education
