Join Us Live This Friday: Women in Clean Energy Symposium

If we are to succeed in the global clean energy race, we need the talents and contributions of all members of society. This is the driving force behind the Clean Energy Education & Empowerment (C3E) initiative. Launched in partnership with eight other governments at the inaugural Clean Energy Ministerial -- C3E leverages the skills and talents of women worldwide to help advance the global clean energy economy.

This Friday, September 28, organizers of C3E will celebrate an important milestone -- the launch of the Women in Clean Energy Symposium. Hosted by the U.S. Energy Department and the MIT Energy Initiative – the Women in Clean Energy Symposium will bring together distinguished and emerging leaders to help lay the foundation for a broader, continuing effort to advance women's leadership in clean energy.

The centerpiece of the symposium will be the first-ever C3E Awards ceremony -- recognizing six mid-career individuals with outstanding accomplishments in the clean energy field. Awards will be given out in a range of categories including: innovation and technology development, entrepreneurship, policy and advocacy, and advancements for the developing world.

Best of all, the symposium will not be limited to those attending in person. We’re making the event interactive so that you can share your own thoughts and perspectives throughout.
