Nearly 200 Indiana University faculty members will gather starting today for a two-day conference to create an energy research plan for IU. The plan will identify critical challenges in Indiana as well as the nation, and avenues where IU can contribute to sustainable solutions.
The first day will be hosted by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research at IU Bloomington, where national and state leaders will speak about energy related issues facing the nation. Energy Systems Network (ESN) President and CEO, Paul Mitchell, is included in the impressive list of conference speakers. ESN is a clean-technology energy initiative of the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership and a sister organization to the Indy Partnership.
The second day will be hosted by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research at the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus where IU faculty will examine IU’s strengths in order to identify opportunities to contribute. Some of the areas IU expects to contribute in are transportation, education and workforce, energy source management, environmental issues, and economic and legal issues.
