Rigorous research and open dialogue are essential for finding energy policy solutions that address climate change, increase access to energy, and spark innovation for a thriving global energy economy.
The Center on Global Energy Policy’s Visiting Faculty invites academic scholars from external institutions to become part of the Columbia University community to focus on advancing smart, actionable, evidence-based energy and climate solutions.
What to expect

- Participants are invited to share insights and engage with experts across Columbia University’s broad, multidisciplinary networks.
- They identify opportunities for high-impact energy policy research and programming, and raise the visibility of data-driven, actionable policy solutions.
- They host public events, faculty lectures and student seminars, and contribute to ongoing CGEP research initiatives.
