The PACE Roundtable event, held each fall, combines inspirational presentations with interactive work sessions focused on identifying key issues that require further attention and research. The Roundtable is attended by industry leaders, students, and faculty. The results from the event include the identification of research topics that will drive ongoing research and scholarly activities by students and faculty at Penn State. Results from a portion of the research are then presented at the Spring PACE Research Seminar.
