NSF ERC Planning Workshop
All collaborators of the NSF ERC for Connected Eldercare Planning Project are invited to the 2nd Planning Workshop on
June 15, 2022

at MIT
This is an In-Person Meeting with online participation option. Towards the submission of a preproposal due October 2022, we will discuss key components of our ERC proposal. The objectives of the Workshop are threefold:
- Discuss and evaluate pilot projects to be funded for exemplifying convergence research at an NSF ERC for Connected Eldercare.
- Showcase Connected Eldercare technologies with live laboratory demonstrations; clinicians and caregivers can access elderly homes and provide care services remotely.
- Discuss 1) value proposition for stakeholders, 2) DEI plans, 3) workforce development strategies, and 4) ERC organization and governance.
