MITEI Seminar Series 2008-2009
During the 2008-2009 academic year the MIT Energy Initiative hosted its inaugural series of monthly seminars on a wide range of energy issues. The series featured experts from academia, industry, and government, each focusing on a particular area of the overall energy challenge. Their perspectives on issues as diverse as storage technology, green buildings, economic policy, and energy use in the developing world both informed and inspired the energy community here at MIT. We would like to thank our speakers for their work and the time they shared with us. We would also like to thank the Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) for helping make the Seminar Series possible.
