NSF/EPA Workshop to Explore Environmental Compliance by Industries

The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host a workshop on June 4 in Washington, DC highlighting research that examines economic and other motivations for companies to go beyond environmental compliance requirements.

The workshop is jointly sponsored by EPA's National Center for Environmental Research and NSF's Decision, Risk and Management Science Program.
