The recently created Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (formerly
the CU-Boulder Energy Initiative), in partnership with corporate sponsors,
will be holding its Third Annual Research Symposium on Wednesday, October
21st at the University Memorial Center (UMC) on the CU-Boulder Campus.

The symposium will begin with a keynote address by Professor Steve Rayner of
the University of Oxford, followed by a poster session in which faculty,
research associates, graduate students and scientists display research
projects and ideas for tackling energy and related climate change or
sustainability issues.  More importantly, participants can learn about
related research interests and expertise on the CU campus and at local
federal laboratories (e.g. NREL, NOAA, NCAR, etc.). Poster presentations on
all aspects of renewable energy and energy sustainability are welcome.

A Seed Grant Competition with awards up to $50,000 will be held following
the Research Symposium.  Only poster participants in the Research Symposium
will be eligible to submit proposals to the Seed Grant Competition.
Specific proposal instructions and reviewing criteria, as well as an
application form, will be available immediately following the Symposium.

Registration for the Research Symposium is free and open to the public and
will be available on the RASEI site, http://rasei.colorado.edu/ , in the
next few weeks, along with additional details.
