Institute for Energy Solutions 2026 Energy Symposium
The U-M Institute for Energy Solutions hosted its inaugural energy symposium in 2025 themed “What (Energy Issue) Is Keeping You Up at Night?”. The Symposium included faculty, staff, and students from across the University and external partners from academia, industry, government, and nonprofits. Our goal was to identify critical energy challenges and discuss innovative energy solutions.
This year, on May 27-28, 2026, IES is hosting its second energy symposium, themed “What are your Energy Dreams?”. We want to know what energy challenges and solutions excite (“energize”) you today. Join us to discuss opportunities in electricity grid technology and computation, biotechnology for energy feedstocks, critical minerals, geothermal systems, data centers, behavioral challenges in energy, and more. IES will be welcoming Dr. Benjamin Kroposki, the Director of the Power Systems Engineering Center at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), to give a plenary at the symposium.
The event will take place at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library (1000 Beal Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48109) on U-M’s North Campus. Further details will be announced soon. Save the date!
