Description
The Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton University supports research toward environmentally sustainable energy and infrastructure systems. The program funds exploratory research and collaborative, interdisciplinary projects with potential to grow into sustained research programs, externally funded centers, or other large-scale, multi-institutional efforts.
The posted call focuses on Industrial Decarbonization, Renewable Energy Systems, and the Water-Energy-Resource Nexus. These themes encompass cleaner industrial processes and materials, renewable electricity technologies and integration, water treatment, resource recovery, and reduced water and energy demand. Cross-cutting approaches include enabling technologies and AI, systems analysis and modeling, and policy and decision-making. Investigators working across these approaches are encouraged to collaborate to accelerate knowledge transfer and translation into practice.
