Education
The Energy Institute helps train the energy leaders of tomorrow by encouraging the availability of energy-related courses in schools and departments across campus. The Institute also oversees the interdisciplinary Graduate Portfolio Program in Energy Studies, which gives students a broad picture of the energy field from an overall policy perspective.
Each spring and fall semester, the Energy Institute hosts the UT Energy Symposium, a weekly guest lecture series featuring experts from academia, government and regulatory agencies and the non-profit world. The Institute also works with a student-run energy club and energy researchers throughout the University to organize UT Energy Week, an annual conference that provides a platform for leading experts in academia, government, industry and the non-profit world to explore cutting-edge energy research, emerging trends, new technologies and other developments in energy topics.
