Clean Energy & Sustainability Innovation Program

@UConn is partnering with @Eversource Energy to support students interested in designing our energy future through the Clean Energy and Sustainability Innovation (CESIP), a funded innovation competition. This is a unique opportunity for teams of undergraduate and graduate students from all disciplines to propose their own ideas to facilitate a clean energy transition. Selected student teams will receive summer funding and be paired with mentors from the UConn faculty and Eversource Energy, to support the development of ideas on the real-world dimensions and details of the clean energy transition.
