Workshops & Events

First Stakeholder's Workshop November 15 and 16, 2004:
The SOCCR Coordinating Team is aiming to design the SOCCR to be useful for policy makers, scientists, business groups and citizens. To supplement and complement the governmental and scientific review process, we are seeking comments and suggestions from all of these stakeholders. To this end, we are holding several workshops to seek input on how well the SOCCR addresses scientific, policy, business and other interests and concerns.

The first workshop for stakeholders will be held at the Marriott Key Bridge hotel in Arlington, Va., on Monday and Tuesday, November 15 and 16, 2004. Workshop attendance is limited by space, but if you are interested in attending, please contact Ms. Sherry Wright (wrightsb@ornl.gov) of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
