Issues and Sample Discussion Topics |
|
- What are some ideas/visions of NSF centers in green chemistry and engineering?
- What do the science, organization, management, and other components look like, and how can they be brought together?
- What does it take to be competitive?
- What’s missing?
- What are the next steps?
- Does a critical mass exist?
- What about the components beyond research – education, industry – with strong leaders for each?
- What are the center/large-scale opportunities?
