The Precourt Institute for Energy

To help realize the vision of sustainable, affordable, secure energy for all, Stanford University’s Precourt Institute for Energy develops the creativity, collaboration, learning, and leadership needed for the global energy transformation. As part of the new Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, the Precourt Institute plays a key role in connecting the new school with Stanford’s other six schools for interdisciplinary research and education. The Precourt Institute and its 14 constituent initiatives, centers, and programs fund research across campus with the potential to solve the toughest energy challenges. The institute sponsors several student courses and an interdisciplinary postdoctoral program, and it supports Stanford students interested in energy. Precourt Institute programs help translate Stanford research for deployment in the world and engage energy sector stakeholders. Under the Stanford ENERGY brand, the institute also promotes the contributions of the broad Stanford energy ecosystem through multiple channels, including this website.
