Strategic Roundtable – Background and Purpose

NJIT and Rowan University have jointly initiated the establishment of the Center for Grid Enhancing Technologies for Future Energy Systems Integration and Transmission (GET-FIT) under the National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry–University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) Program (NSF Award #2515138 and #2515218). The Center is currently in its Planning Phase, with the goal of advancing to the Full Center Phase. As part of the NSF IUCRC Planning Grant process, the Strategic Roundtable serves as the two-day Planning Workshop that anchors the NSF IUCRC Planning Grant stage, bringing together prospective Industry Advisory Board (IAB) members from industry, utilities, system operators, technology companies, and government agencies to help refine the Center’s research roadmap, project portfolio, and long-term partnership model. This event is also a key customer discovery and member recruitment milestone, helping align Center capabilities with shared industry needs.

GET-FIT is designed to build a sustained partnership among industry, government, and academia to address critical challenges in modern electric power systems, including grid resilience, transmission expansion, renewable integration, and emerging grid-enhancing technologies. As part of this effort, this Strategic Roundtable brings together leaders from industry and government to share insights on current challenges, future needs, and priority areas for innovation. Input from participants will directly inform the Center focus, value propositions, potential research projects, and a research roadmap of strongest interest to industry members.

We invite you to join this discussion and contribute your perspective to help shape an actionable and impactful plan for the GET-FIT Center. We also hope this engagement will provide an opportunity to explore future collaboration and your partnership as a Center Member.
