| The Texas A&M Energy Institute, in partnership with the Texas A&M University Water-Energy-Food Nexus Initiative and “Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Toward Sustainable Resource Management BAEN/CVEN 642“, will host a half-day research workshop at the Memorial Student Center titled, “Water-Energy-Food Nexus Dialogue,” on Tuesday, May 9, 2017 from 11:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Faculty members, graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and staff members are welcome to attend the research workshop. |
