Then register without delay to take advantage of the early bird registration rate. The event will be held June 19-21 at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, ND. Abstracts for breakout session technical presentations are still being accepted until June 10th. Technical presentations in all areas of clean technology, sustainable and renewable energy, and energy conservation are solicited.
Cleantech 2011 is a unique combination of events designed to foster and promote sustainable energy-related technology centers. It is hosted by two University of North Dakota-based groups—the Sustainable Energy Research Initiative and Supporting Education (SUNRISE) program and the Center for Innovation. The National Science Foundation EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) program and the Red River Valley Research Corridor Coordinating Center are the primary sponsors of Cleantech 2011 which is being hosted by ND SUNRISE and the UND Center for Innovation.
A limited number of fellowships are still available for participants from EPSCoR jurisdictions, minority-serving institutions, and tribal colleges.
Why participate in Cleantech? Develop relationships/connections with researchers at other institutions, gain knowledge and experience in formulating and planning major energy research programs, and establish a network of commercial technology-enabling entities and technology end user companies that are an important and necessary component of major research centers.
