Global Renewable Energy Leadership Fellows

Global Renewable Energy Leadership Fellows design and carry out forward-thinking research on sustainable energy systems in partnership with other academic, industrial or nongovernmental partners—particularly in other parts of the world. Global Renewable Energy Leadership Fellows typically have a doctoral degree or equivalent in engineering, earth and environmental sciences; energy-related fields of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics; economics; or environmental architecture and design.

Project Funding

Funding for the GRELF project has been provided by the Initiative for Renewable Energy and the Environment (IREE).

Application Process

Global Environmental Leadership Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. The current request for applications is closed. We will announce future competitions via IonE’s e-newsletter and website. Please check back for future opportunities.
