DARPA EXTREME Proposers Day Webinar
 

Teaming/Technical Exchange

DARPA highly encourages teaming before proposal submissions and, as such, will facilitate the formation of teams with the necessary expertise. Proposers Day registrants may choose to participate in either, none or both of the following options:

1.      Attendee List (Publicly available):  participant contact information (name, organization, email address) will be included on an EXTREME Proposers Day Attendee List published on the DSO Solicitations website.  The registration website will ask registrants to indicate whether they approve publication of their contact information.

2.      Proposer Profile List (Limited distribution):  interested parties shall submit a one-page profile consisting of their contact information (name, organization, email, telephone number, mailing address and, if applicable, organization website); a brief description of their technical competencies; and, if applicable, their desired expertise from other teams/organizations.  All profiles must be emailed to EXTREME@darpa.mil no later than 3:00 PM on September 2, 2016.  Following the deadline, the consolidated teaming profiles will be sent via email to the proposers who submitted a valid profile.  Specific content, communications, networking, and team formation are the sole responsibility of the participants.  Neither DARPA nor the DoD endorses the information and organizations contained in the consolidated teaming profile document, nor does DARPA or the DoD exercise any responsibility for improper dissemination of the teaming profiles. 

To achieve the program goals, the EXTREME program will cross-connect the communities of engineered material designers, optical designers, and modeling and optimization experts to establish foundations for optics in the 21st century.  The program technical areas and challenge problems are designed in such a way that only cross-connected teams can solve them.  Uniting these communities will enable the development of new architectures, explore the fundamental limits of optical component functionality, and develop new design tools that would not be possible without integrating these communities together.
