You’re Invited: Student Poster Competition and Reception at the Energy Innovation Center
Presented by the Institute for Humane Studies
Join us for special student poster competition and reception at the Energy Innovation Center (EIC) on Monday evening, November 16 from 6:15 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. presented by the Institute for Humane Studies (IHS).
Reception guests will enjoy appetizers and drinks in the EIC's Duquesne Light Brightspace. Soaked in light and boasting an expansive view of the Pittsburgh skyline and sunsets, the Brightspace will provide a modern, elegant setting for a memorable evening with colleagues and friends.
The Institute for Humane Studies is the presenting sponsor of the reception. The IHS explores, defends, and applies the principles of a free and open society by developing and connecting leading thinkers who apply the principles of freedom to society’s most consequential questions and complex challenges.
The annual Best Student Poster Award Competition gives selected students an opportunity to showcase their work and receive recognition through dynamic, interactive poster presentations. The competition is sponsored by USAEE Senior Fellows John Holding and Robert Eric Borgstrom.
In addition to providing distinctive event spaces, the EIC, located in Pittsburgh's Lower Hill District, functions as a "living laboratory" for industry-informed education and training programs. It also brings together diverse tenants, including energy sector corporations, national energy research laboratories, community leaders, economic development organizations, and leading academic institutions.
This special reception is included with conference registration. Shuttle service will be provided between the conference hotel and the EIC, which is located less than half a mile away.
