Save the date: The 11th Biennial NOAA EPP/MSI Education and Science Forum will be held in-person on the campus of University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne, Maryland, from September 24-26, 2024.

The Biennial Education and Science Forum focuses on the important role educational partners such as the four EPP/MSI Cooperative Science Centers (CSCs) and Undergraduate Scholarship Program contribute to the NOAA community. The EPP Forum supports NOAA’s objective to develop a diverse and capable workforce. Since 2001, EPP/MSI institutions have graduated over 2,000 students in NOAA mission fields. Over seventy percent of graduates are from communities traditionally underrepresented in NOAA mission fields
