NSF and CPMT Conference Grants Announced

The National Science Foundation (NSF) and Center for Powder Metallurgy Technology (CPMT) / Axel Madsen Conference Grants provide students with the opportunity to participate and exchange ideas with leading researchers and engineers from worldwide industry and governmental facilities, as well as the students and faculty from both domestic and international universities. The 45 recipients attend the full conference, giving them the chance to learn the latest research areas and results in powder metallurgy fields of interest. These opportunities will not only improve the students’ knowledge in the field, but also develop scientists and engineers who are ideally suited to create the next generation of designs in powder metallurgy and metal additive manufacturing that will push materials and manufacturing capabilities. We estimate that over one-third of the past recipients, those that are not still students, are working in fields connected to PM.

Interested in hearing more from our Student Grant Recipients? Visit the Grant TNT: Talk ‘N Technology Sessions through the conference. The full schedule and topics will be available soon on the conference website and mobile app. Additionally, a Student Resume Board will be on display at the conference as well as available on the conference mobile app. Please consider these outstanding students as possible employees or interns in your company.
