Join our interdisciplinary engineering and public policy program

The global energy system is a socio-technical one: it is shaped by the natural sciences, engineering, and the social sciences. It is also responsible for the majority of the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change–the defining challenge of our time. Our unique program brings together engineers, economists, lawyers, ethicists, industrial designers, behavioural scientists, and policy experts to help shape the sustainable and low-carbon energy system of the future.
