Global Energy Access Network (GLEAN)
The Energy Access Project sponsors the Global Energy Access Network, an interdisciplinary network of graduate and undergraduate students at Duke. Together, we aim to foster a research and policy dialogue on campus around energy access through regular speaker lunches, career treks, and other events. Every year, students compile a selection of case studies on energy access issues all over the globe.
