Several industry associations and other organizations have scheduled by invitation-only workshops or focus sessions to address the topics included in the January, 2016, DoD Manufacturing Innovation Institutes (MIIs) Request for Information (RFI). The Department of Defense is not sponsoring these workshops, but does expect the information from these workshops to be useful in its deliberation to determine which topics to select for the two future MIIs, as is addressed in the RFI.
