Two of the IGERT SUN trainees were selected to participate in the ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit in Washington, DC. The ARPA-E Summit was an invaluable opportunity for the trainees to network with other graduate students and professionals in the energy industry. They were exposed to keynote speakers as well as informal learning opportunities at the technology showcase where they could meet people working at the cutting edge of sustainable energy technologies. The conference also exposed the trainees to innovative business and policy models for scale-up of solar energy technologies and afforded them an opportunity to make connections for potential future collaborations.
