Institute for Materials Executive Director David McDowell will present during this webinar with Cyrus Wadia, assistant director for Clean Energy & Materials R&D with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. The event is free but registration is registration is required.

]]> This webinar will discuss the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and the concept of a network for accelerating discovery and development of materials.
