University of Idaho
The
Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES) is
a public/private partnership between the State of
Idaho through its academic research institutions,
Boise State University (BSU), Idaho State University
(ISU), the University of Idaho (UI), and the federal
government through the Department of Energy and
its Idaho National Laboratory (INL), which is managed
by a private entity, Battelle Energy Alliance (BEA).
Through its collaborative structure, CAES combines
the efforts of these four research institutions
to provide timely research support on both technical
and policy issues.
CAES partners leverage their resources, capabilities, and expertise in collaboration
with others to provide:
Research– Deliver innovative, cost-effective, credible research that meets the demands of a carbon-constrained world.
Education – Educate the next generation of energy scientists, policy makers and the public while accepting and leveraging the values of those groups.
Policy– Facilitate an informed dialogue involving the scientific community, the public, and government; leading to energy policy at a national, regional and State level.
EDUCATION
CAES member institutions are working together to create unique
educational opportunities that blend the talents
and capabilities found at the Idaho Universities
and the INL. This collaboration creates hands-on educational
opportunities for students, scholars, and faculty. Working
across institutional boundaries, CAES partners integrate curricula
and share infrastructure to expand the number and preparation
of energy professionals, to enhance technical capabilities,
and to advance energy science.
The University of Idaho provides opportunities for energy related graduate
education in nuclear and other
engineering disciplines, environmental
science, physical and life sciences, water
resources, and natural
resources as well as many
other programs. Information and materials to apply graduate admission
are available from the College
of Graduate Studies.
