About the Series
Energy is entwined in all aspects of our lives, whether at home or work, in the car or on foot, and in the wind, sun, water and plants around us. Since 2015, the Plugged Into Energy Research (PIER) lecture series has highlighted cutting-edge research, policy and innovation around a variety of energy-related topics that affect our daily lives. The goal of the PIER lectures is to increase literacy around energy topics of concern in Rhode Island. Please join us for our annual lectures held each fall at URI. Sign up to be notified of future PIER lectures.
