2025 Special Joint Session for Provosts and Chief Research Officers
Partner Event
Please join us in Washington, D.C. this April for a unique two-day roundtable that will bring together provosts and chief research officers in a cross-silo conversation on the research enterprise.
2024 attendees noted that convening with provosts and chief research officers was time well spent:
- “This was a great experience—I liked that EAB brought together the VPR and provost. We have challenging schedules and this helped provide quality time together. We both have taken notes and are thinking about implementing several new ideas from the meeting.”
- “I was literally emailing my deans about information presented during the sessions—outstanding!”
