IRG 2: Molecular and Electronic Dynamics at Organic-Inorganic Interfaces1This is the Title slide, used to introduce each individual presentation. 1

VisionTo understand and engineer interfaces that will permit the creation of materials systems having new capabilities, with applications in fields ranging from advanced electronics to biologyTo integrate discovery and the creation of knowledge with international programs, professional development opportunities, industry outreach, and dissemination through informal education programs and state-of-the-art educational materials.

IRG 2: Molecular and Electronic Dynamics at Organic-Inorganic Interfaces4Needs to be updatedThe end of the Impact section should reiterate the aspects of the MRSEC that make this research possible, as discussed in the overview. This is the final part of the three-part argument: We are doing great science that will have an impact, and the MRSEC makes it possible.4
