Dow's Science and Technology Advisory Council (STAC) brings a diverse outside-in perspective on science, engineering, and innovation to assure Dow retains its leadership positions and expands its competitive advantage in the materials science industry.
The Council was formed in 2021 and is expected to provide perspectives and inputs that may have tactical and strategic influence on Dow's approach to innovation. The council will be composed of thought leaders from academia and chaired by Dr. A. N. Sreeram, CTO and senior vice president of Dow.
Members will not represent any particular organization but bring their expertise and awareness to share with senior Dow managers and the Dow leadership team.
STAC meetings will take place over one to two days with nominally four such meetings per year, addressing topics that have been suggested by Dow and the Council members. The format includes innovation platform overviews, technology roadmap exploration, capability development, discussion of practical applications, and sharing of information on emerging materials and technology trends and challenges.
