Collaboration and connection of knowledge to tackle pressing energy problems is a hallmark of Duke's strength in applying knowledge in service of society. Global energy challenges demand such engagement, and the Energy Initiative is committed to reaching outside the university to find dedicated collaborators with the expertise to help put new ideas into practice.

Duke’s research activities in energy cut across multiple disciplines and include five core focus areas:

Our projects and programs engage decision-makers across the business and policy communities, forging partnerships that result in new opportunities for faculty, hands-on learning experiences for students, and practical advancements for the energy system.

Partners can collaborate with the Energy Initiative on research, help connect Duke projects to current business and policy decisions, enhance Duke’s energy education programs, and speak at Duke-sponsored energy conferences and events.

Corporations and Foundation Collaboration

Foundations and corporations will find a variety of innovative, engaging research and education programs to support through the Duke University Energy Initiative.
