Research - Notre Dame, Indiana, United States
The Center for Sustainable Energy at Notre Dame (ND Energy) is built upon the foundations laid by the Notre Dame Energy Center (NDEC), a College of Engineering research center founded in 2005, and the Sustainable Energy Initiative (SEI), a Strategic Research Investment funded by the University in 2010. Part of Notre Dame Research, these two entities have been integrated into ND Energy, which now serves as the umbrella organization for these and other energy-related research and education programs at Notre Dame. The mission and vision of ND Energy is to foster and grow energy-related research, support education and community outreach, and influence the national and global discussions of the most pressing energy policy issues and questions of our time. Our expanded vision goes beyond our call to excellence in scientific research, education, and community outreach to include global, energy and sustainability challenges, especially in low-to-middle-income countries.
