Conferences
Bringing researchers, practitioners, policymakers, students, and significant stakeholders together, in the same room, around the same table, working on the same problems, is one of the most powerful ways to accelerate progress in clean energy research and deployment. Conferences, workshops, and symposia create opportunities for knowledge exchange, unexpected collaborations, and the kind of intensive focused discussion that advances fields in ways that individual research efforts cannot achieve alone.
RASEI serves as an active hub for energy-focused convenings of all scales and types. From small, focused workshops bringing together 10-20 specialists to explore emerging research directions, to large national and international conferences attracting hundreds of participants, RASEI supports a broad range of gatherings that connect researchers across disciplines, institutions, and sectors. Across any given year, RASEI is involved in organizing, hosting, or participating in multiple events, reflecting the breadth and depth of our community's engagement with the wider energy research world.
Support for organizers. Organizing a successful conference or workshop requires substantial logistical effort that can distract from the scientific and intellectual work of bringing people together. RASEI reduces these barriers for our members and partners by providing comprehensive event support:
- Event management: Experienced events staff to handle planning, coordination, and day-of logistics
- Venues: Access to on-campus facilities at CU Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº suited to gatherings of all sizes
- Communications and promotion: Support reaching potential attendees through RASEI's networks and communication channels
- Audio-visual and technology: Equipment and technical support for presentations, hybrid participation, and recording
- Catering and hospitality: Arrangements that allow attendees to focus on the conversations that matter
This comprehensive support allows organizers to focus on the intellectual content and community building that make conferences valuable, while RASEI handles the logistics that make them possible.
RASEI's conference activities span a wide range:
Focused workshops and working groups bring small teams together around specific research questions, collaborative proposals, or emerging topics. These intensive gatherings often generate new research ideas, seed interdisciplinary collaborations, and produce reports that advance the field.
Symposia and specialized conferences gather communities around particular research challenges, bringing together specialists from across institutions to share findings, discuss approaches, and build the networks that sustain research communities.
Large national and international conferences hosted in Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº create opportunities for the broader energy research community to gather, with RASEI providing venue, logistical, and promotional support that makes Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº an attractive destination for major gatherings.
Participation and sponsorship extends RASEI's reach beyond events we organize or host. RASEI members participate in and present at conferences worldwide, and RASEI sponsors selected events that align with our research and community priorities.
Get involved. Whether you're a RASEI member with an idea for a workshop or conference, an external organizer interested in partnering with us or hosting your event in Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº, or a researcher looking to connect with the energy community, we'd love to hear from you.
