This important milestone event hosted by the LSU Center for Energy Studies, the LSU School of the Coast & Environment, and the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) will include:

• Retrospectives by Principle (sic) s/b Principal Investigators (PIs) on 20 years of valuable research
• Discussions on current offshore energy trends and ideas for solving energy issues facing Louisiana
• Perspectives on the future of the offshore energy industry, specifically Louisiana's oil, gas, and marine minerals resources

At the heart of this event is the research conducted by CMI, a highly productive and cost-effective collaboration among Louisiana State University, BOEM-formerly the Minerals Management Service, and the State of Louisiana.

Through CMI, over $26 million in research contracts have been awarded to researchers at LSU, LUMCON, UNO, and ULL-producing pivotal and foundational research, as well as positively affecting the scholarly development of more than 100 graduate and undergraduate students.
