​Students and faculty are invited to participate in the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2024 EnergyTech University Prize. This is a $400,000+ collegiate competition that challenges student teams to identify a promising energy technology, assess its market potential, and create a business plan for commercialization.  

 

DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy intends to sponsor a $25,000 bonus prize to students or faculty presenting business plans or educational activities related to nuclear energy technologies. 

 

This year's EnergyTech University Prize also features a $100,000 faculty competition. The new track challenges faculty to develop and implement educational activities to engage more students in energy technology commercialization and entrepreneurship topics.  

 

Ready to learn more? Join an upcoming faculty track informational webinar on Nov. 15 at 4 p.m. ET to learn about the competition and ways to support as a student team mentor.
