IAPG Mechanical Working Group Meeting 2017

Meeting Goals

The IAPG strives to share information and increase effectiveness of the interagency R&D programs in a wide realm of advanced power. Each year, the MWG meeting provides a forum for a cross-cutting review of current government research activities across the interest of MWG participants within the IAPG member agencies (Army, Navy, Air Force, DOE, NASA, and NIST).

Location

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI)
6220 Culebra Road
San Antonio, TX 78238

The meeting will be held in the Fuels and Lubricants Research Division, Building 209, Conference Room 313.

Meeting Attendees/Guests – Please Review Carefully

  • U.S. citizens only
  • U.S. government employees (includes IPAs)
  • U.S. government contractors/FFRDCs

A contractor is defined as those currently holding grants or contracts with a U.S. government agency. This would include academic institutions, as well as both on-site and off-site performers.

Employees of federally funded R&D centers (FFRDCs). This only includes employees of the FFRDC, not the administering entity. Review the master list of FFRDCs maintained here.
