Faculty, students, and researchers in bioengineering and related areas have numerous opportunities to collaborate and meet. Efforts and activities are closely tied with those in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, the Harvard Kennedy School, and the Harvard School of Public Health.

• Harvard Graduate Consortium in Energy and Environment
  

  The Harvard Graduate Consortium in Energy and Environment will foster a new community of doctoral students who will be well versed in the broad, interconnected issues of energy and environment while maintaining their focus in their primary discipline. Through debate and dialogue in coursework and seminars, students will be able to identify the obstacles, highlight the opportunities, and define the discussion of an energy strategy for the 21st century and beyond.

• Harvard Biotechnology Club
  

  The GSAS Harvard Biotechnology Club is a non-profit, student organization that hosts events and provides services that allow members to explore the world of business and biotechnology. The Biotech Club's mission is to bridge the gap between industry and academia by building relationships with companies operating in the biotechnology and healthcare sphere. Corporate sponsorships support all club activities and operations.

• SEAS Sustainability Efforts

  We encourage you to join your colleagues at SEAS and those in related departments like Physics and EPS to spearhead an effort to make our campus a showcase for best practices.

  The GHG Administrative Group is run by Kate Zirpolo (kzirpolo@seas.harvard.edu, 6-1460) group will focus on issues such as the most energy efficient use of paper and other disposable products.
  
  The GHG Laboratory Group, is coordinated by Lenny Solomon (solomon@huarp.harvard.edu, 5-4215). This group will study how to reduce energy consumption in the laboratories.

• SEAS Intranet
  

  Community-based site focused on administrative and policy aspects of the School.

Affiliated Activities

• Harvard University Center for the Environment
  

  The Harvard University Center for the Environment (HUCE) encourages research and education about the environment and its many interactions with human society.

• Future of Energy at Harvard
  

  The Future of Energy at Harvard initiative is creating a university-wide framework for connecting scholars who work on energy related issues. The initiative's efforts are spearheaded by the Harvard University Center for the Environment, in partnership with Energy Policy Research Programs at the Harvard Kennedy School.

• The Clean Energy Project

  The Clean Energy Project  uses computational chemistry and the willingness of people to help look for the best molecules possible for: organic photovoltaics to provide inexpensive solar cells, polymers for the membranes used in fuel cells for electricity generation, and how best to assemble the molecules to make those devices.

• Harvard Energy Journal Club
  

  The Harvard Energy Journal Club meets weekly with the goal of facilitating discussion and furthering our understanding of the technical details of energy technology and science.  Our primary purpose is not to discuss policy issues, but rather it is to enable us to develop the necessary technical background to better understand energy issues and policy.

• Office for Sustainability
  

  The mission of the Harvard Office for Sustainability (OFS) is to engage the entire Harvard University Community in achieving all of its sustainability goals.
