We are proud to announce the 2023 Hertz Summer Workshop, taking place August 3–6, 2023, at the University of California, San Diego, campus. Registration ends Friday, July 7.
The annual Summer Workshop is the signature event for the Hertz community and one-of-a-kind gathering of some of the top scientists, entrepreneurs and leaders in our nation’s science and technology enterprise. What better place to meet — and collaborate with — the physical scientists, biologists, engineers and mathematicians who will be creating our next breakthroughs?
You know firsthand the intellectual curiosity, rigor and deep sense of moral commitment to making a lasting, positive impact on this country and the world that typifies the Hertz Fellows. At the 2023 Hertz Summer Workshop, you’ll join a vibrant interdisciplinary and multigenerational community of Hertz Fellows for a challenging and enlightening four-day workshop — including an engineering challenge, engaging speakers and abundant networking opportunities.
