REI Annual Symposium

The Rutgers Energy Institute hosts a symposium every year in the spring.  Speakers from academia, industry, and government will be hosted for keynote addresses on topics relating to energy science, engineering, economics, and policy.

The 2010 Energy Symposium by the Rutgers Energy Institute provided faculty, students, staff, government officials, and community members with the opportunity to learn about the new methods, processes, and initiatives being developed by energy thinkers at Rutgers, in New Jersey, and across the country.
