Overview
Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering, the Engineering Research Visioning Alliance (ERVA) is a neutral convener that helps to identify bold and transformative new engineering research directions by engaging experts in a visioning event.
Our call to action for you is to share Big Ideas- research challenges for ERVA visioning that are:
Our call to action for you is to share Big Ideas- research challenges for ERVA visioning that are:
- Ripe for engineering research intervention;
- Emerging, nascent, and currently under-resourced with respect to engineering;
- Capable of major societal impact (if resourced);
- Broad enough to engage the multidisciplinary engineering research community; and
- Distinct from the previous visioning themes:
- The Role of Engineering to Address Climate Change
- Leveraging Biology to Power Engineering Impact
- Engineering R&D Solutions for Unhackable Infrastructure
- Sustainable Transportation Networks
- Engineered Systems for Water Security
- Engineering the Future of Distributed Manufacturing
- Engineering Materials for a Sustainable Future
- Strategic Thinking for Engineering Research in the Age of AI
- Engineering Solutions to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance
- Quantum-Enabled Technologies
- Transforming Women’s Health Outcomes through Engineering
- Strategic Engineering Focus for Next-Generation Wireless Competitiveness
- Engineering Research to Catalyze Resilient Rural Communities
- Engineering Food Systems to Enable Precision Nutrition
- Reimagining Cellular and Cell-Free Biomanufacturing Platforms in the AI Era
