The need for clean, reliable, and affordable energy globally is abundantly apparent. Severe weather, conflict, and a global pandemic have made energy supply, access, and prices even more volatile. Realizing a decarbonized energy system requires new strategies, policies, and innovative technologies, all while driving the creation of new jobs and improving the quality of life for all people. At the 11th Annual U.S. C3E Women in Clean Energy Symposium & Awards, key thought leaders will explore how we can steadily pursue sustainable energy goals through current and future challenges.

The U.S. C3E Poster Competition is back in-person and gives again the opportunity for students and early-career researchers to participate in the poster competition of the annual U.S. C3E Symposium and Awards. The poster competition exposes the symposium attendees to cutting-edge research in a variety of clean energy fields. A poster committee with wide-ranging expertise will select the most compelling poster submissions for presentation at the symposium with an eye toward diversity of institution, topic, and discipline. See the past poster winners. READ MORE

The posters will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

How effectively entrants are able to communicate to multidisciplinary audiences (government, academics, executives, etc.)
Professionalism and enthusiasm during the 1-minute poster presentations
Clarity of materials, specifically:
- motivation for studying this topic
- research methods
- results and/or conclusions
- potential impact of research results and/or conclusions

Posters must be created as one-side A1 (24” by 36”) horizontal and be printed by the student. Presenters should bring their posters with them to the symposium.

REQUIREMENTS

The research should be well underway, with (at least) preliminary findings and must be original work.
