The CNRC Research Seminars are held biweekly on Thursdays from noon to 1 p.m. in the Howland Auditorium on the second floor of the CNRC, 1100 Bates Street, Houston, Texas, 77030. Each session features two faculty presentations (approximately 25 minutes each) followed by a 5-minute Q&A.
The Howland Auditorium is spacious enough to provide necessary distance among audience. We encourage everyone to attend the seminar in person to enhance the quality of discussions and idea exchanges. We also provide a virtual option (Teams) for those who cannot attend the seminar in person. For security purposes, registration for the virtual option is required, and each meeting has different registration.
Select the registration link of the seminar of your choice.
