Join us for a day-long program of events to mark the University of Chicago’s launch of a groundbreaking climate and energy institute that will be the central hub for its global efforts to confront this pivotal challenge.
On October 30, 2024, the University will host Climate Frontiers: Energy and Climate at UChicago, a day-long program of special events culminating in the unveiling of a new climate and energy institute.
The program of events will demonstrate the scale and breadth of the University’s activities on energy and climate change and highlight how the new institute will be a world leader in achieving real progress as society works to balance the need for economic growth with the urgent priority of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The program will bring together prominent alumni, leaders in energy and climate from around the world, students, scholars and more for the unveiling of the institute, including its name, mission, and scope. It will also include a climate showcase and student poster session to highlight the field-defining research already underway at UChicago; a climate & energy career fair to allow students to better understand the diverse climate and energy career paths; and, a series of leadership discussions featuring University of Chicago faculty in conversation with senior leaders from government, industry, and the non-profit sector focused on core research areas central to the new institute where the University of Chicago is uniquely positioned to lead.
