About the Program
The global pandemic has taught us that isolation is likely the only way to defeat COVID-19 in the short-term. Shelter-in-place may be the appropriate response right now. Still, it cannot be the lesson that we apply to gigaton challenges – issues so complex they seem impossible – in energy and the environment going forward. From public health to energy and the environment, these gigaton challenges require a systems approach involving collaborative and inclusive networks to implement large-scale solutions.
In this Together is a hybrid-access (80% open; 20% private) virtual conference that will consider how cities, countries, and the world can tackle a variety of energy and environment-related topics including pandemics, the new energy economy, social justice and activism, and the market. All participants will have opportunities to personally engage with thought-leaders in solutions-oriented dialogue. An exclusive group of selected students will be named SISE Fellows, and they will use the tools of GoogleMaps and LinkedIn to build a community-of-purpose. Fellows who complete the program will receive:
-
American Energy Society (AES) Honoraria
-
AES Premium Membership
-
Access to SISE Alumni database
-
LinkedIn professional development credits
-
Professional development coaching and support
