we are helping to frame the national debate on
energy policy. We are advancing the frontiers
of energy research. We are educating a new

turning our research into innovations that will
transform the way the world gets its energy

The MIT Energy Club: This club focuses on the creation of a tight-knit energy community at MIT. Its weekly
events include document-based energy discussion groups and the MIT Energy Lecture Series, along with
signature events, such as the annual MIT Energy Night and the MIT Energy Conference. The club’s emphasis is
on building a community at MIT with a deeper understanding of global energy trends and challenges through

leaders, investors, researchers, and students to discuss practical, multidisciplinary solutions to the global
energy challenge. Panel sessions included carbon capture and sequestration, end-use efficiency, transmission
infrastructure, geothermal energy, the future of vehicles, nuclear power, renewables at scale, and innovation
in energy. http://www.mitenergyconference.com/
The mission of the MIT Clean Energy Prize (CEP) is to be the catalyst for a unified competition to help develop
a new generation of energy entrepreneurs and launch innovative enterprises. CEP stimulates productive relationships among academic, community, industry, and government organizations with strong interests in meeting
the world’s energy challenge through innovation and entrepreneurship. The MIT CEP was conceived by the MIT
Entrepreneurship Center in partnership with the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition. During its inaugural
competition, the MIT CEP awarded more than $200,000. http://mitcep.com/
The Energy and Environment Club’s missions is to bring the MIT Sloan and MIT communities closer to current
trends, technologies, and careers in energy and environmental management. Sensitive to the natural interplay
between energy and the environment, club members seek to encourage leadership in the energy sector and
excellence in both direct and indirect environmental stewardship. http://www.sloanee.com/
