Calendar

This calendar provides an overview of activities for the Aurora pooled fund. This includes the annual schedule for meetings (virtual and in-person) and research project idea solicitation, review and selection. In addition to the calendar items listed below, research project kick-off and update meetings are held between researchers and Aurora project teams per project schedule. Aurora project teams also review quarterly progress reports for each active research project.

The monthly virtual and biannual in-person meetings allow the Aurora Board to stay connected, conduct Aurora business, engage with the public and private sector (including Friends of Aurora), discuss research needs and submitted ideas, track the status of existing research projects, ask questions of their peers and share information about their RWIS systems including: number of current RWIS, new sites planned, equipment news or issues, maintenance news or issues, power supply, software used, biggest challenges, new technologies, budget, staffing, etc.
