The Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology Directorate, Office of University Programs’ nine Centers of Excellence (COE) will convene in late July for the Centers of Excellence Summit 2019. This year’s event, held at George Mason University’s Arlington, Va., campus, will focus on “Homeland Security Challenges: Evolving Threats and Dynamic Solutions.”
As in 2018, this year’s Summit will include an Innovation Showcase, student posters, keynote talks and panels addressing homeland security fields such as emergency response, storm modeling and asset preparation, and border and cyberspace security. New this year will be a Grand Challenge for COE students across the country, which encourages innovation and problem-solving to address a simulated problem or threat.
Registration will open in May. Read more about the event and watch a video about last year’s event at coesummit.org.
