Each year the Sci-ROI Annual Event convenes delegates from academia, government, and industry in India; all are interested in recruiting graduate and postdoctoral talent in science and engineering from the Midwest. The second Sci-ROI Annual Event took place on September 9th and 10th at the Biological Sciences Center at the University of Chicago and was hosted by UChicago Global, Science and Research Opportunities (Sci-ROI), and WINStep Forward.
