Princeton E-ffiliates Partnership (E-ffiliates) is a campus-wide membership program that positions organizations to engage in close collaborations with academic experts, Princeton students, and other partners from diverse sectors on global energy challenges and environmental concerns.
Participation in E-ffiliates lowers the barriers to collaboration between members and the Princeton research community, helping identify the most pressing energy and environment problems to develop and scale solutions. A successful energy systems transition in the face of climate change calls for truly multidisciplinary research informed by realities on the ground. E-ffiliates responds to this need by facilitating collaborative research, information exchange, and partnerships between stakeholders across the energy value chain, matching members with strategic opportunities.
E-ffiliates is proud to partner with associated centers within the University and leading organizations across industries that share a stake in the efficient, sustainable use of energy, and share our deep interest in how our energy systems, behaviors, policies, and technologies affect the environment.
