About

CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY’S GREAT LAKES ENERGY INSTITUTE (GLEI) was created in 2008. The Institute has attracted nearly $10 million in energy gifts, including support from the Cleveland Foundation, the Milton and Tamar Maltz Professorship in Energy Innovation, and the Thomas W. and Nancy P. Seitz Professorship in Advanced Materials and Energy.  GLEI directly supports faculty in energy research by promoting collaborations – including industry and university partnerships – for the pursuit of winning major energy funding and educating students. Since the Institute’s inception, CWRU has quadrupled its level of energy-related research.  

 
In addition to research, GLEI plays an integral role in connecting faculty and assets at CWRU with the wider world. Examples include hosting a monthly energy Speaker Series, which draws together industry, academia, and the public for strong research discussions.  This bridge building further includes affiliations with national conferences such as ARPA-E’s Energy Summits and IEEE’s EnergyTech (2011 & 2012). Sponsored by Eaton, NASA, and FirstEnergy, EnergyTech 2011 drew over 200 attendees from around the country, including keynotes from the Assistant Secretary for the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) at DOE, ARPA-E, NSF, and Draper Laboratories.
