The Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society's New Energy Summer Summit brings early career energy researchers and scholars to the Dartmouth College campus in Hanover, NH, to help expand connections and collaborations among PhD students, postdocs, and assistant professors working across the energy and climate space.

The idea for the summit grew out of the New Energy speaker series, which was launched by the Irving Institute in spring 2020 to provide a platform for advanced PhD students, postdocs, and assistant professors to share their emerging work in energy and society during a time when travel was challenging. The inaugural summit, in 2022, hosted 20 researchers from 17 institutions from around the world for three days of lightning talks, breakout groups, lectures, workshops, and networking. The summer '23 summit brought 19 researchers to campus. 

New Colleagues, New Ideas, and New Networks

The New Energy Summer Summit provides a unique opportunity for early-career scholars working in energy and climate across the disciplines to meet colleagues from other institutions across the globe. Through breakout sessions, lightning talks, networking meals, and other activities, the Summit will give you the opportunity to:

  • Share your own research and interest areas
  • Learn about your peers' work
  • Identify shared and complementary areas of expertise among peers
  • Brainstorm and develop new projects and avenues of inquiry
  • Meet Dartmouth faculty experts and learn how Dartmouth scholars are approaching energy and climate
  • Explore the Irving Institute's beautiful, new highly energy efficient building, a living laboratory for energy and climate research, teaching, and learning
  • Enjoy the Upper Valley of New Hampshire in all of its summer glory!
