About CVD

The Science, Engineering and Technology Congressional Visits Day (SET CVD) is an annual two-day event that brings scientists, engineers, researchers, educators, and technology executives to Washington to raise visibility and support for science, engineering, and technology. Uniquely multi-sector and multi-disciplinary, the SET CVD is coordinated by a coalition of companies, professional societies and educational institutions and it is open to all who support science and technology. The two-day program consists of a series of briefings and meetings highlighted with visits to your Congressional delegates.

CVD's Objectives

SET CVD raises awareness of the long-term importance of science, engineering and technology to the nation through face-to-face meetings with Members of Congress, congressional staff, key Administration officials and other decision-makers.

The core messages we ask participants to deliver are: 

  • Balanced federal investment in Science, Engineering and Technology is fundamental to the future of our Nation's prosperity.
  • Science, Engineering and Technology partnerships between government, universities, and industries mean progress, economic growth and jobs for our Nation.
