Join us on February 12, 2014 to hear from Daniel Schwartz, Director of the new Clean Energy Institute (CEI). CEI was formed when Gov. Inslee and state legislators allocated $6 million to create a research center at the university that will advance solar energy and electrical energy storage capacities. The Clean Energy Institute is enabling us to dive into the science and engineering that will lead to solar and energy storage technologies the world needs and wants.
