We are excited to welcome you to our annual conference: Creating an Impactful Virgin Islands Research Ecosystem November 7 – 8, 2024.

VI-EPSCoR is in its final year of the U.S. National Science Foundation grant Ridge to Reef: Processes and Interdependent Drivers of Small Island Resilience (R2R).

Join us at the University of the Virgin Islands LaVerne E. Ragster Administration & Conference Center, Orville E.

Learn why this work matters to you, and to our community.

The conference will also showcase the importance of STEM education in strengthening our island community and, you will have the opportunity to meet the students and learn about the work they are engaged in.

With expert talks from our esteemed guest speakers, workshops, and interactive sessions, attendees will hear about recent scientific progress and its local applications. Connect with others who share your interests, build networks, and explore opportunities to support the Virgin Islands' research community.
