CLEERS Workshops are annual meetings open to all those who are interested in understanding and simulating the performance of exhaust emission control devices under realistic operating conditions. The Workshops provide an informal, focused forum to:

• share recent experimental and computational simulation experience with advanced aftertreatment technologies;
• enhance emissions control research collaborations among industry, universities, and DOE national labs; and
• identify the most pressing pre-competitive research priorities for emissions control.

CLEERS Workshops feature invited presentations by internationally prominent researchers and a moderated discussion with an invited panel of industry experts. Workshop participants are encouraged to contribute oral presentations and posters.

CLEERS Workshops are sponsored by the DOE Vehicle Technologies Office and conducted under the guidance of the DOE Advanced Engine Crosscut Team. Workshop discussions are summarized for the DOE Vehicle Technologies Office and the DOE Advanced Engine Crosscut Team for consideration in identifying research priorities and coordinating technical focus to maximize leveraging between DOE and industry-supported R&D.
