Past Events
On January 29, 2010, we formally introduced the new i4Energy Center, with a panel of distinguished speakers from the California Energy Commission, the State Assembly, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the California Institute for Energy and Environment, and the Berkeley Campus. After the introduction in the Banatao Auditorium, we dedicated the new i4Energy space on the fourth floor of Sutardja Dai Hall in the Banatao Institute at CITRIS; dessert was served in the new space. Following the dedication, there was a poster session of current research displayed throughout the i4Energy space, and a demonstration of a small sampling of technologies that have been derived from our on-going research.

Workshop on September 25, 2009.
The CITRIS / i4Energy Workshop that was held on September 25, 2009, produced a rich set of suggestions and recommendations for research, interactions, and paths forward. While this work is still one that is in its formative stages, we will use this portion of the site to report therse recommendations and link to the presentations that were made at that September 25th workshop. (Links to the presentations and other materials are highligted for the convenience of the reader. Other presentations will be added when available, to make the set complete.)
