Achieving a fully decarbonized global energy system that provides affordable energy services, has low environmental impacts, is realistically viable and economically implementable, and supported by the public, is one of the most pressing tasks for humanity. Steering the world towards these goals requires energy solutions resulting from engineering-science research and understanding of energy systems to guide policy decisions. During this one-day forum, we will hear from thoughts leaders about the future of research and teaching for energy science and learn from the key challenges and solutions faced by energy industry and by policy makers.

Energy Science & Engineering in 2050 is a  full-day, interactive event to convene pioneering thinkers who push back on the status quo in energy with new viewpoints, frameworks, and directions for the future of energy science research. The forum will bring together principal speakers to express unique views on the energy transition with the Energy Science & Engineering community at Stanford.
