Vision2020 Subcommittees
Vision2020 Subcommittees are led by industry champions who encourage others with common interests to join together to pursue R&D in a specific technology area. Become a champion and utilize Vision2020 resources! Subcommittees coordinate R&D activities and report progress and results to the Vision2020 Steering Committee. Currently, there are three Vision2020 Subcommittees:
Government Support
Government support is key to Vision2020's success and future. A key goal of Vision2020 is to influence funding decisions and expand government support for pre-competitive R&D for the chemical industry. Several government agencies are currently responding to chemical industry priorities, including the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
