CIEE is proud to offer opportunities to nurture, encourage and inspire the innovators of tomorrow
CIEE sustains key student programs to equip the next generation of energy and climate researchers with the knowledge and hands on experience needed to help shape the future.
The Rosenfeld Fund provides funding to a UC Berkeley graduate student committed to research on energy efficiency. This includes technical, social science and policy research that can lead to reductions in the use of energy. The successful applicant will be selected for their academic merit, passion, and commitment to pursuing both educational and career paths with a focus on energy efficiency.
The Cal Energy Corps is an undergraduate summer internship program engaging top UC Berkeley undergraduate students in the design, development and delivery of sustainable energy and climate solutions around the world. After 11 years of providing students summer internships with energy-related companies and national labs, the Cal Energy Corps merged with the Climate and Energy track of the CITRIS Workforce Innovation Program in December 2022.
