ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:

Researchers from across the state will gather to highlight Oklahoma's bioenergy research efforts during the Oklahoma EPSCoR Annual State Conference on Tuesday, April 23, 2013.  The event will be held at the Wes Watkins Conference Center on the Oklahoma State University campus in Stillwater.

EPSCoR biofuel researchers from the three research focus areas--feedstock development, microbial conversion and thermochemical conversion--will share research updates and progress with conference attendees throughout the morning sessions.

In the afternoon, a scientific poster session and hybrid poster/oral presentation competition will also spotlight research progress in the alternative energy field. More than 40 research posters are expected to be on display at the conference. The scientific poster session is open to all participants. However, the hybrid poster/oral presentation competition is only open to undergraduate and graduate students associated with the EPSCoR research program.
