The goal of the Symposium is to provide women in clean energy with a range of perspectives on clean energy challenges and opportunities. It also provides a forum for networking. It is our hope that the symposium will help build a sustained national and international community of professionals dedicated to advancing the careers and goals of women in clean energy. The 2014 Women in Clean Energy Symposium theme will be Urban Strategies for a New Energy Future.

Rachel Chalat, a third year joint degree student with SNRE and Applied Econ, tied for first place in the national clean energy competition.  Hosted by MIT's Energy Initiative, the Clean Energy Education & Empowerment (C3E) Awards recognized Rachel's research in the development of a new method for states to assess compliance options for the EPA's proposed rules to reduce carbon pollution from existing power plants.
