Mark your calendars for November 30 - December 4 to join us for the DoW Applied Innovation Workshop at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. 
A call for poster abstracts will be released in the coming weeks with abstracts due in July 2026.
The Department of War’s (DoW) Applied Innovation Workshop will bring together project teams, implementation partners, industry innovators, and students to enhance energy resilience, modernize infrastructure, and equip warfighters and installations with resources needed to fight and win in contested environments. Sessions and activities at the December event will continue to build on the momentum and outcomes from the March 2026 event.
This event is hosted by SERDP and ESTCP, innovation programs under the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Energy Resilience & Optimization. With an emphasis on strategic planning and hands-on engagement, the DoW Applied Innovation Workshop supports the programs’ mission to connect research with real-world challenges, drive technologies toward adoption, and deliver impactful, mission-driven solutions.
We look forward to your participation and contributions to this important work supporting the warfighter and strengthening our nation's defense capabilities. Registration will open in the summer. Please check back for the agenda in the next few weeks.
