Current and Upcoming Events
The ND EPSCoR Conference, originally scheduled for April 21st, has been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. While we are disappointed, this decision was made after careful consideration and consultation with numerous individuals who all concurred the safety and health of the participants, speakers, and staff is our highest priority. We will begin conversations soon about the potential to hold the conference this fall and will keep you informed of our decision. Absent a fall conference, we look forward to welcoming everyone to Fargo next spring for the 2021 ND EPSCoR Annual Conference. The ND EPSCoR Conference is an annual event that brings together faculty, students, and the community in a celebration of research endeavors taking place within almost all of the state’s higher education institutions.
