2024 Energy and Climate-Tech Innovation Policy “Boot Camp” for Early Career Researchers
George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government and the University of Maryland’s Center for Global Sustainability have just opened applications to participate in their 2024 energy and climate-tech innovation policy “boot camp” for early career researchers. The boot camp will be held in Washington, D.C., from June 2 to June 7, 2024.
The Mason-Maryland boot camp’s main purpose is to strengthen researchers’ understanding of how energy and climate-tech policy is made, so their research has greater impact on real-world clean energy and climate innovation outcomes. A central feature of the boot camp will be face-to-face discussions with key players shaping the energy and climate-tech policy landscape in the United States. These discussions will span Congress, the executive branch, international organizations, NGOs, businesses, and other players.
Researchers with a background in any discipline who meet these three qualifications are invited to apply:
- Earned a Ph.D. in 2014 or later;
- Published research in the open literature on energy and climate innovation; and
- Actively pursuing a research program in an academic setting.
Female, African-American, and Hispanic researchers are particularly encouraged to apply. Researchers from outside the United States are welcome to apply, but must describe a research program that includes U.S. energy and climate-tech policy issues.
Application due date: February 20, 2024.
Applicants will be notified of the decision on March 4, 2024.
