On December 16 and 18, 2025, the COMPASS Center hosted the first joint meeting of all NSF PIPP Centers in a virtual format. More than 70 participants from institutions across the United States attended across the two half-day sessions.
The meeting brought together new and existing collaborators from the APPEX Center, CPI, and ESCAPE, providing a forum to share updates on center activities, identify synergies, and discuss opportunities for future collaboration. It also facilitated introductions across centers and helped strengthen connections within the broader NSF PIPP community.
The meeting was highly productive, leading to multiple follow-up discussions that further supported and expanded collaborative activities.
