The 24/’25 Advanced Experience Program (AXP) with your Ph.D. Students!
Overview:
Accelerating clean energy adoption requires scholars who understand the business and policy context of clean energy. The Advanced Experience Program (AXP), created through the generous support of the Mark Torrance Foundation, enables UW doctoral students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to apply their knowledge to support decision makers in climate tech investing and clean energy policy.
AXP is designed to be a flexible time commitment to complement each student’s Ph.D. training and longer-term professional development at the UW and CEI. There are two tracks that comprise AXP: (1) Tech Due Diligence and (2) Science Policy Analysis. The time commitment for each track is approximately 20 hours to be completed between Fall ’24- Spring ’25, plus a final writeup which is typically a two-page contribution to a larger investment or policy document. Participants receive a $1,200 honorarium after both their 20-hour time commitment and final written contribution are complete.
