On Tuesday, March 21 and Wednesday March 22, 2023, the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering will conduct its bi-annual Reliability Science symposium and research planning meetings. This meeting will be a hybrid meeting at the University of Maryland and virtually via Zoom. The meeting will include an overview of CALCE research activities with several detailed research project presentations. The meeting will open to all CALCE members. For non-CALCE organizations interested in attending, please contact Dr. Osterman. The links to register for the event are provided below:
