What is the Energy Solutions Forum?

The Energy Solutions Forum Seminar Series brings together top researchers in science and engineering to explore solutions-focused topics in climate and energy. Featuring leaders in areas such as battery technology, clean energy, and carbon sequestration, these free seminars bring together academic researchers from top-tier institutions and local industry experts to share the latest advances with our community. A light 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.
