Symposium

December 2 – 4, 2008     * * *     Washington D.C.

REGISTRATION AND TECHNICAL PROGRAM INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR SERDP AND 
ESTCP’S ANNUAL TECHNICAL SYMPOSIUM & WORKSHOP

The Partners in Environmental Technology Technical Symposium & Workshop 
will take place December 2 – 4, 2008, in Washington, D.C. This event is 
sponsored by the Strategic Environmental Research & Development Program 
(SERDP <http://www.serdp.org/>), the Department of Defense’s (DoD) 
environmental science and technology program, and the Environmental 
Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP 
<http://www.estcp.org/>), DoD's environmental technology demonstration 
and validation program. This year’s Symposium & Workshop has been 
expanded to a full three-day format that will offer a more comprehensive 
technical program featuring 13 technical sessions and five short 
courses. Technical sessions will highlight research and innovative 
technologies that assist DoD in addressing increasingly complex 
environmental and mission sustainability challenges. Over the course of 
the three days, short courses on select technologies in environmental 
restoration and munitions management will offer unique training 
opportunities on recent advancements in science and technology. 
Symposium Registration is now open, and information about each technical 
session and short course has been posted on the Symposium site 
<http://www.serdp-estcp.org/Symposium> under the Agenda tab.

Last Chance! The Poster Abstract deadline is Thursday, July 31! (Poster

SYMPOSIUM HIGHLIGHTS

This event assembles environmental researchers and technology developers 
with the defense user and regulatory communities to showcase cutting 
edge environmental technologies and ideas, as well as communicate the 
most difficult challenges of our defense establishment. Attendees will 
have numerous opportunities to network with approximately 1,000 
environmental professionals.

PLENARY SESSION AND PROJECT-OF-THE-YEAR AWARDS:  The opening Plenary 
Session will feature Amory Lovins, a MacArthur Fellow and consultant 
experimental physicist educated at Harvard and Oxford who has advised 
the energy and other industries as well as the U.S. Department of Energy 
(DOE) and U.S. DoD for more than three decades. Other plenary speakers 
will include COL Cynthia A. Murphy, the Commander of the U.S. Army 
Garrison – Fort Lewis, Washington and Ms. Sheri Goodman, General Counsel 
at the CNA Corporation, a nonprofit organization that provides analysis 
and solutions for the DoD and other public sector leaders. SERDP and 
ESTCP Principal Investigators who have helped DoD achieve its mission 
while improving its environmental performance also will be honored 
during the Plenary Session as the annual SERDP and ESTCP 
Project-of-the-Year Awards are announced.

EXHIBIT HALL:  This year’s Symposium & Workshop will continue to feature 
the highly successful poster sessions and exhibit 
booths showcasing technologies and scientific advancements from a 
variety of environmental research programs. Attendees have the 
opportunity to learn first-hand about ongoing and recently completed 
SERDP projects and ESTCP technology demonstrations. Time is running out 
for those who would like to present a poster in the Exhibit Hall. 
Abstracts must be received no later than JULY 31, 2008. (Poster Abstract

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN SERDP AND ESTCP:  The Executive Director of 
SERDP and ESTCP will host a session on Thursday to provide a summary of 
program initiatives and opportunities for interested scientists to 
conduct research and technology demonstrations.

TECHNICAL SESSIONS AND SHORT COURSES:  A comprehensive technical program 
consisting of concurrent technical sessions and short courses covering a 
variety of scientific and technical subjects will follow the Plenary 
Session. New this year, Professional Development Hours (PDH) will be 
offered for short courses! Attendance for these courses will be limited, 
and space will be available on a first-come first-serve basis. 
Therefore, registration for each short course will be required for you
