A longstanding tradition of CMU Energy Week, the CMU Energy Week Student Poster Competition is calling for posters that showcase the innovative work of CMU’s students. This competition allows all students, from undergraduates up to postdoctoral researchers, to network with peers, faculty, and energy leaders while also sharing their cutting-edge research with attendees. The abstract submission deadline has been extended to February 28, 11:59 pm ET.

The participants will give a 5-minute presentation during CMU Energy Week 2025, where students will have the opportunity to present on their poster, followed by a Q&A period and a final award ceremony. This event will take place March 27 from 2:45 - 3:30 pm, with winners being announced on the main stage at approximately 4:00 pm.  Posters can feature any energy-related topic, and we encourage participants from all colleges and disciplines.

Over $2,500 in total prizes will be awarded for the most compelling posters:

• First Place ($1000, Feature in Scott Institute’s April Newsletter, display of poster in the Hunt Library Sustainability Studio)
• Second Place ($750)
• Third Place ($500)
• Most Innovative Research Idea ($500)
