About the series
This virtual networking event in support of the U.S. National Science Foundation Verticals-enabling Intelligent Network Systems (NSF VINES) program, NSF 25-539 solicitation, is aimed at providing a venue for U.S. investigators who may be interested in exploring potential teaming opportunities with international collaborators from participating foreign countries. (Note: It is NOT required for U.S. proposers to team up with collaborators from international partner countries, i.e., proposal teams can be composed entirely of eligible U.S. organizations and participants.)
The event will be held on Thursday, July 10, 2025 (all dates and times are in Eastern Daylight Time [EDT]). To accommodate time zone differences, NSF will host a 3-hour session (see below).
In the session, the format will be a set of parallel breakout rooms where participants will have a chance to pitch their capabilities and needs and network to potentially team up for an NSF VINES collaborative project. Participation in this event is registration-based, entirely voluntary and does not constitute any form of NSF endorsement.
- Session 1: Thursday, July 10, 2025, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. EDT (targeted to U.S., India, Finland and Sweden)
While general registration to participate in the event is open until the event day, if you would like to be considered as a potential moderator of a breakout session, please make sure to register by July 3, 2025.
