Outreach & Engagement
Our Mission
CASFER values innovation, welcomes multiple voices, in partnership with CASFER Institutions and Industry, to lead change and close the circle to advance the NCE nationally and internationally.
CASFER is dedicated to creating an environment where members from all backgrounds are ready to contribute to their fullest potential toward a nitrogen circular economy.
​
CASFER engages a range of communities by acknowledging the varied backgrounds and experiences of each participant and facilitating their engagement in engineering through multimodal, multilevel entry points and cut across socioeconomic and cultural boundaries.

CASFER’s outreach and engagement is evident throughout the organization, from center leadership to partner institutions. CASFER creates a welcoming environment for all of its members.
