Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute: A Joint Institute of the University of Colorado at Boulder & the National Renewable Energy Laboratory

To establish and lead new energy enterprises, students must experience an educational process that is immersed in all aspects of the energy marketplace, from technology to policy to business to social factors.

Critical to the development of energy-savvy graduates is involving them in an institution that is world-class in the comprehensive study of the scale and complexity of the energy challenges of the 21st century. The broad-based research portfolio, the broad perspectives and capabilities of the integrated energy campus venue, and the strong interactions with industry and the federal research labs provide an unmatched educational experience to foster a new generation of leaders at all levels.

RASEI is working to develop CU-Boulder's energy education programs, with the ultimate goal of establishing CU-Boulder as a leader in renewable and sustainable energy education.
