Welcome
The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) are proud to host the 2010 Partners in Environmental Technology Technical Symposium & Workshop. This event will offer a comprehensive technical program featuring technical sessions and short courses that address DoD's highest priority environmental challenges.
This conference of approximately 1,100 attendees will assemble environmental researchers and technology developers with the defense user and regulatory communities to showcase cutting edge environmental technologies and ideas, as well as communicate the most difficult challenges of our defense establishment. SERDP and ESTCP strive to provide networking opportunities for users in the field to examine technologies that may offer solutions to current problems.
Symposium Registration is available until 11:00 pm EST on November 17. See the right column for details.
