At the third Clean Energy Ministerial, an international forum held in London in late April, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a plan aimed at attracting more women to clean energy careers and supporting their advancement into leadership positions.
The new program was designed to fit within the ministerial’s Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) initiative, which seeks to inspire and connect women around clean energy issues. DOE’s new program, pursued in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is designed to translate the goals of C3E into concrete, meaningful action in the United States.
