As described in the report, graduate students in STEM fields have advanced discovery, contributed significantly to economy growth, national security, and the health and well-being of people. In these ways, graduate STEM education in the U.S. has become the gold standard.
Yet, innovations in research methods and technologies, fluctuations in work availability, shifts in demographics, and other influences on STEM expertise have raised questions on how well the current STEM graduate education system is meeting 21st-century needs.
Registration is open to administrators, faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students.
