Event Information
The Sustainable Energy Transitions Initiative (SETI) is an interdisciplinary global collaborative that aims to foster research on energy access and energy transitions. Largely comprised of researchers working on the energy challenges faced by low- and middle-income countries, this “center without walls” is currently housed at Duke University, where it is coordinated by Drs. Subhrendu Pattanayak and Marc Jeuland. Over 60 attendees from 15 countries gathered from May 9-11, 2017 at Duke for SETI’s second annual meeting. In addition to research sessions (including on adoption of improved energy technologies, impacts of grid electrification, and policies that drive the global energy transition), the 2017 meeting featured a daylong practitioner workshop. This effort enhanced the dialogue between the academic and the policy communities, with the goal of informing both evidence-based practice as well as policy-relevant scholarship. The workshop was sponsored by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) through the Environment for Development Network, and the Project on Access & Transitions to Sustainable Energy at Duke. #SETI2017
