Princeton E-ffiliates Partnership

Participation in E-ffiliates lowers the barriers for collaboration between corporate and non-profit members and the Princeton research community, helping identify the most pressing energy and environment problems in order to develop and scale solutions. A successful energy systems transition in the face of climate change calls for a response of unprecedented speed and scope and a dismantling of historic silos. Truly multidisciplinary research can guide technology, policy, business, and beyond, but it must be 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.
