External Partnerships
The Andlinger Center works to solve complex energy and environment challenges that benefit from the diverse expertise and perspectives of a strong network of stakeholder groups including academic, corporate, government, and non-profit organizations. Engagement with these partners through research and events helps catalyze knowledge transfer and accelerate deployment of applied solutions. Conferences, workshops, seminars, and other meetings are held with the goal of igniting authentic, thoughtful interaction across sectors that lead to new insights and novel innovations. An important vehicle for this collaboration is a formidable corporate affiliates program administered by the Center called “Princeton E-ffiliates Partnership” or simply “E-ffiliates.”
E-ffiliates
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. E-ffiliates provides a robust perspective on real-world problems and helps engender honest dialogue and cooperation between our members and the wider Princeton University community.
2025 Annual Meeting
Conference spotlights the obvious benefits and hidden challenges of a circular economy
Our 2025 Annual Meeting highlighted both the promise of a circular economy for reducing waste and supporting sustainable growth, and the complex cultural, economic, and infrastructural barriers that make this transition challenging. Experts emphasized that while innovation is accelerating across sectors — from plastics to critical minerals — the shift to true circularity will require systemic change, strong policy support, and deep community engagement.
