Scientific & Technical Disciplines

Maui offers a rich environment of scientific and technical activity. Whether you are interested in a guest speaker, a briefing, a presentation, a demonstration, or a tour of a facility, we will help to facilitate when possible the inclusion of Maui's and Hawaii's network of educators, research scientists, other professional and technical personnel working in these areas in your program.

We have compiled a representative list of disciplines below; this list is not meant to capture the full extent of research or related scientific activity on Maui, therefore we invite your inquiries about other disciplines which may be of interest to your group.
