What is the Energy Solutions Forum?

The Energy Solutions Forum seminar series brings together leading researchers across disciplines in science and engineering to advance understanding of solutions-focused topics in climate and energy. Innovators in fields such as battery technology, clean energy alternatives, and carbon sequestration and recycling will give seminars to share knowledge with our University and local communities. A reception following each seminar provides the opportunity for continued dialogue and an exchange of knowledge to strengthen collaborations within and between scientific disciplines, all with the goal of saving our home planet, Earth. The Energy Solutions Forum is sponsored by the College of Science in partnership with the College of Engineering, with generous support from Mick Hitchcock.
