Under the theme of Sustainable Resilience in the Face of Climate Change, The 16th Annual STAR-TIDES Capabilities Demonstration took place on April 17th-19th, 2023 on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. A follow-on demonstration at the Pentagon Center Courtyard took place on April 20th-21st, 2023.
STAR-TIDES is hosted by Mason’s trans-disciplinary Center for Resilient and Sustainable Communities (C-RASC). C-RASC’s broad scope allows resilience questions to be addressed from both technical and policy points of view, and this year’s theme and focus areas opened exciting opportunities for a wide range of civilian and military collaboration.
STAR-TIDES welcomes collaboration with diverse stakeholders: businesses; local, state, federal and international governments, including defense and security interests; domestic and foreign academic institutions, including multiple Mason entities; philanthropic institutions; think tanks; and non-governmental organizations. The Capabilities Demo is designed to maximize opportunities for exhibitors to engage with Mason students, faculty and researchers. For more information, Download the event program.
