The CNRC Research Seminars are held on Thursdays from noon - 1 p.m. in the Howland Auditorium on the second floor of the CNRC, 1100 Bates Street, Houston, Texas, 77030.
The Howland Auditorium is spacious enough to provide necessary distance among audience. We encourage everyone to attend the seminar in person to enhance the quality of discussions and idea exchanges. We also provide a virtual option (Zoom) for those who cannot attend the seminar in person. For security purposes, registration for the virtual option is required, and each meeting has different registration.
