May 25-27, 2011 Washington, D.C.

On May 25-27, 2011, 13 members of the Combustion Energy Frontier Research Center (CEFRC) were among the participants from 46 EFRCs to attend the 2011 EFRC Summit & Forum. The three-day event, hosted in Washington, D.C. by the U.S. Department of Energy, was a major public conference on Frontiers in Energy Research. The event comprised of high-level plenary addresses and in-depth parallel science sessions and poster presentations.
