2022 Climate-Tech Policy “Boot Camp” for Early Career Researchers

The Center for Clean Energy Innovation hosted its 2022 climate-tech policy “boot camp” for early career researchers Sunday to Friday, June 5–10, in Washington, D.C.

The boot camp’s main purpose is to strengthen researchers’ understanding of how leaders in government, business, and finance make policy and management decisions, so their research has greater impact on real-world clean energy and climate innovation outcomes.

The boot camp features face-to-face discussions with key players shaping the climate-tech policy landscape in the United States. These discussions span Congress, the executive branch, venture capital, institutional finance, and a diverse set of emissions sectors. The 2022 event builds on the success of our first boot camp in 2019.

ITIF wishes to thank the Sloan Foundation for providing generous financial support to make these boot camps possible.
