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.
From 2021–25, CITRIS Workforce Innovation offered select University of California students — including undergraduates from all majors at UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Merced and UC Santa Cruz — the opportunity to inform their career decisions through eight-week paid internships in areas of emerging IT innovation. While building in-demand skills through on-the-job experience, participants also received training in leadership and project management, and were supported by dedicated CITRIS staff, as well as a community of peers.
