To lay a strong foundation for Energy Solutions, we’re working to build community across the university and beyond. If you’re a UM faculty or staff member whose work focuses on or informs energy research or related social, environmental, and economic interconnections, let us know. Energy experts are searchable by topic or by last name and will also be added to our monthly newsletter list.
