Creating a Bright Energy Future – GCEP at 10 Years Wednesday, October 10 - Thursday, October 11,  2012 Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center Stanford University

The GCEP Research Symposium commemorated the 10th anniversary of the launch of this pioneering program at Stanford. Topics included the latest technology innovations in clean energy research from thought leaders and GCEP principal investigators. One of the largest and most high profile conferences at Stanford with over 600 participants, this year's event focused on "Creating a Bright Energy Future – GCEP at 10 Years." The Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP), a pioneering university-industry collaboration at Stanford University, commemorates its tenth anniversary this year. Since its launch on Nov. 20, 2002, GCEP has supported more than 700 researchers worldwide on a broad range of energy research programs - from all-carbon-based solar cells to microbial methane to wirelessly charged electric vehicles. In this video, Stanford researchers Fritz Prinz, Zhenan Bao, Kate Maher and Alfred Spormann describe the role of GCEP in advancing their work. Caltech researcher Nate Lewis, director of the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP), also describes how GCEP helped inspire the creation of JCAP.
