Fall 2016 Lecture Series: 
Plugged into URI Energy Research 
Energy is one of the most fundamental parts of our universe. We use energy to do work; to light our homes and communities; to power our cars, trains and planes; to warm our homes, cook our food, and manufacture goods. Everything we do is connected to energy!

URI's 2nd annual Plugged into URI Energy Research lecture series will highlight a selection of cutting-edge energy research and outreach projects under way by URI faculty, staff and alums, and explore how the results of these projects affect our daily lives, on an individual and community level. 

Join us for one or all three lectures, which are FREE and open to the public! We look forward to seeing you!
