The Wisconsin Energy Institute is an ecosystem, a community of hundreds of students, scientists, faculty, and staff working on some of the world’s most pressing challenges in sustainable energy. It’s time for us to gather, to learn from each other, to catch up with existing connections, and perhaps meet a new collaborator or friend.
Join us on February 17th from 9:00am-11:45 pm at the Wisconsin Energy Institute for our inaugural Research Showcase. The Showcase will feature flash talks, posters, refreshments, and awards.
