WEI advances the discovery, development, and deployment of innovative energy technologies and public policy solutions; educates future energy leaders; and facilitates collaborations among scientists, researchers and industry leaders.  The multi-disciplinary innovations from WEI’s more than 100 affiliated faculty are strengthening and diversifying approaches to generating, storing, distributing, and using energy while conserving valuable and increasingly limited resources.

WARF’s support bolsters WEI’s efforts to make energy safer, cheaper, and more reliable for everyone in Wisconsin and beyond and continues UW-Madison’s long legacy of helping solve large-scale societal challenges. WEI is deeply grateful to WARF and UW-Madison for recognizing the importance of WEI’s goals and for helping WEI transfer the benefits of our discoveries back to Wisconsin, for the benefit of current and future citizens.  WEI recognizes that this gift is made possible only through the innovations, inventions, and investment of many UW-Madison scholars and researchers over generations.
