Argonne has played a major role the EVI Workshop series co-sponsored by DOE and MOST since 2010

Hosted the first two workshops held in the US (2010 and 2011)

Active in the others held in the US: Boston, Berkeley, and Seattle

For all the EVI workshops in the US – On the planning committee – Gave presentations – Chaired sessions – Produced the workshop brochures

For all the EVI workshops in China – On the planning committee – Gave presentations – Chaired sessions
