The UC Davis Energy Institute focuses and coordinates energy research and education on the campus and facilitates interactions with other institutes, laboratories, and programs across the nation and around the world. The breadth and depth of energy research on the campus supports the vision for building a world-class institute in energy with particular focus on sustainable energy system design. The Institute will also serve as home to a proposed Energy Graduate Group providing advanced degrees in energy science, technology, and policy.
The UC Davis Energy Institute is organized around a number of existing and proposed centers focusing on various aspects of energy. Some Centers report to the Institute while others are affiliated with it.
