Outreach advertising 

Scientific research benefits society through new discoveries and innovations that improve education, make society healthier and safer, and create the potential for economic development.  To make the public aware of these benefits, the Division of Science and Research has created a series of advertisements for radio, web and print. The radio ads are broadcast on West Virginia MetroNews stations during Hoppy Kercheval’s Talkline. The banner ads appear on www.wvmetronews.com.  The print advertisements are placed periodically in publications in the state.

Higher education faculty members, researchers, students, state policymakers and members of the business community gather to share research developments, ideas and collaborations. 

The next STaR Symposium will be October 22-23, 2013 at Waterfront Place Hotel in Morgantown. The theme is the Evolution of Energy, from Scarcity to Abundance.  Read more at www.wvresearch.org/STaR.

Mountain State Science/Lab 304 with West Virginia Public Broadcasting

Mountain State Science and Lab 304 were cooperative projects of the Division of Science and Research and West Virginia Public Broadcasting. The television spots on WVPB’s This Week in West Virgina series focused on science, technology and research initiatives in the state, and ran in late 2010 and early 2011.

Before the Mountain State Science series, WVPB produced a similar series called Lab 304, featuring 16 stories about research in West Virginia. You can view all features in those series in our Library page under Mountain State Science.
