Description
The Stanford R. Ovshinsky Sustainable Energy Fellowship provides seed funding for promising exploratory research in energy sustainability. The fellowship is designed to support innovative projects in areas such as new materials, methodologies, or cost-effective energy conversion technologies, spanning from energy generation to storage. The goal is to enable "proof of principle" experiments or calculations that may have commercialization potential. Established in honor of Stanford R. Ovshinsky, the fellowship encourages the development of efficient, low-cost, and sustainable carbon-free energy solutions to address global needs.
