Conferences and workshops have proven to be an extremely valuable tool for DOD. They allow technical managers the opportunity to receive prevailing information on their respective disciplines.

Conferences and workshops constitute a key forum for scientific and technology interchange. AFRL/VS encourages proposals from recognized scientific, technical, or professional organizations that qualify for federal tax-exempt status. AFRL/VS financial support through appropriate assistance instruments for conferences and workshops is dependent on the availability of funds, program manager?s discretion, and certain other restrictions.

The subject matter of the conference or workshop is scientific, technical, or involves professional issues that are relevant to the AFRL/VS mission for applied research and technology development programs relating to space systems and technology. The purpose of this solicitation is to stimulate transfer of federally developed technology to the private sector or create wider interest and inquiry into the relevant scientific, technical, or professional issues relevant to the AFRL/VS mission.
