International Conference on Research Facilities 2012

Three big forces are causing a major restructuring of plans and initiatives for modern research facilities:

> Financial sustainability (new hard numbers for long-term bottom-line economics),

> Increased competition (attracting and keeping talent and funding), and

> Translation of discovery (for economic and social gains).

The results are radically different decisions and solutions concerning the best use of capital resources, space utilization, flexible utility infrastructure, shared resources, lower operating costs, sustainability, and productive research work processes.

Come to Tradeline’s 32nd annual International Conference on Research Facilities in Scottsdale, Arizona, to get the details on the new research facility plans and initiatives (along with their operating models) that are delivering more program per square foot and dollar of capital, effectively integrating cross-science research teams, increasing program competitiveness, and ensuring long-term asset and system viability with the lowest possible outlay of capital dollars and operating costs.

Who should attend?

This is the annual meeting for capital project teams, project managers, research program directors, facility managers, facility engineers, capital planners, scientists, faculty, and research operations managers to benchmark best-in-class plans and programs, build on successes and lessons learned from others, and shape actionable new plans for their institutions.
