Description
A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a series of four short virtual workshops to consider opportunities to leverage cross-sectoral partnership, collaboration, and coordination to address the resilience and security of U.S. manufacturing and supply chains. Topics for consideration during the workshops include maintaining competitiveness and economic security in critical industries; assuring supply chain reliability and mitigating demand disruptions; accelerating technology innovation; and creating new SME capacity. The two-hour long virtual workshops are meant to catalyze high-level policy discussions and to stimulate further dialogue on cross-cutting science and innovation policy issues related to supply chain resilience and manufacturing capacity. A rapporteur-authored proceedings-in brief will be published summarizing all workshops in the series.
