ERVA Open Call for Visioning Theme Submissions |
Background for open call
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. We do this by engaging experts in a visioning event.
Our call to action for you is to share Big Ideas- research problems for ERVA visioning. Please help ERVA identify bold new engineering research challenges that are:
Our call to action for you is to share Big Ideas- research problems for ERVA visioning. Please help ERVA identify bold new engineering research challenges 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 Era of AI,
- Engineering Solutions to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance,
- Quantum Enabled Technologies,
- Transforming Women's Health Outcomes through Engineering,
- Strategic Engineering for Next-Generation Wireless Competitiveness
