Distinguished Lecturers
Energy Information Website
Community Information Outreach
|
Outreach is an important part of our efforts at GCEP—to communicate the project activities and research results to a wide audience and provide a vehicle for an international dialogue about future energy systems with low greenhouse gas emissions. A number of GCEP outreach efforts are underway or will begin shortly, including:
- GCEP Distinguished Lecturers:
In 2007, we established a GCEP distinguished lecturer program to highlight significant research accomplishments. Four distinguished lecturers have been selected and will travel to each of our sponsor’s research centers to present their work and engage in a two-way dialogue with the in-house R&D organizations. Many of the lecturers will also give their talk at the Woods Institute Energy Seminars, which are open to the entire Stanford community.
- Energy Information Website: In collaboration with Professor Roel Snieder at Colorado School of Mines, a
website with useful links to resources for energy education and research has
been developed.
- Community Information Outreach: Successfully making the transition to an energy system with low-GHG emissions will require broad awareness of the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, technology opportunities for accomplishing this, and career opportunities in the energy industry.
- Technical Meetings: GCEP holds annual symposia, which are open to the public, to share our research results. We also host workshops, seminars, and specials events open to the energy research community throughout the year.
- Stanford Student Forums: An opportunity for GCEP graduate student/post doc researchers and other students to interact with the Project's principal investigators and their graduate students and learn more about research going on here on campus.
- GCEP Sabbatical Program: GCEP has established a small program to support faculty who are interested in spending a sabbatical leave at Stanford University and GCEP. The program is designed to encourage scientists and engineers who are interested in expanding their research programs to include energy-related topics or who are from developing countries.
Over the coming years, we will seek to further broaden our outreach program by establishing a few research centers in rapidly developing economies.
