The National Academies are organizing a national convocation on “Rising Above the Gathering Storm Two Years Later: Accelerating Progress toward a Brighter Economic Future.” The convocation will be held April 29, 2008 (Tuesday) at the J.W. Marriott Hotel here in Washington, D.C. The National Academy of Engineering and the National Academies are organizing the convocation with support from the National Math and Science Initiative.
The event will take stock of what has occurred since the fall of 2005, when the National Academies released the report Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future. Major accomplishments include the passage of the bipartisan America COMPETES Act, which was signed by the President last August, as well as initiatives by several states and by the private sector. In addition, the convocation will strengthen engagement among the various stakeholders seeking to renew American innovation and explore how progress can be sustained and accelerated.
In addition, all convocation participants, as well as all Members of Congress, are invited to a reception on Capitol Hill following the convocation hosted by the National Math and Science Initiative.
If you plan to participate, please register at the convocation website as soon as possible. We expect to close registration when capacity for the event is reached.
