Develop Tomorrow’s Leaders

We encourage students from across disciplines to participate in our energy courses and professional development programs, and we connect them to key resources.

Convene Today’s Leaders

We gather thought leaders with diverse backgrounds and interests for productive conversations that tackle the world’s most urgent energy challenges.

Ben Franklin was Penn’s first energy scholar. He discovered electricity, developed the lightning rod; and designed fire insurance—integrating impact across science, technology and policy.
