AMO 2020 Peer Review

to

The Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO), part of the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, changed its meeting format and will now conduct a virtual Peer Review of its program. The AMO Peer Review will provide a high-level overview of AMO’s strategic plan, priorities, investments, and the mechanisms it is using to meet its program goals. This two-day meeting will also include presentations from AMO technology managers on various technical topics that cover the entire AMO program. 

Principal Investigator presentations will not be reviewed during the AMO Peer Review. Their presentations will be posted on the AMO website two weeks prior to the AMO Peer Review for public access.
