About

The Center for Energy Science and Policy, a joint-initiative of the Schar School of Policy and Government and the College of Science, is a multidisciplinary, vibrant, energy science and policy hub at George Mason University. The Center focuses on developing innovative, integrative applied science and policy solutions for the energy security, sustainability and resilience challenges of Virginia and beyond. This external reach is reflected in the MOU it has developed with the Bundeswehr University in Munich, Germany. The Center’s research and analysis utilizes high-performance computer simulation and visualization; hands-on, laboratory-intensive research studies; in-depth qualitative studies, and statistical and economic analyses. In addition to energy research, the Center also offers innovative educational opportunities through interactive workshops, comprised of practitioners and academicians, on key issues related to energy security, sustainability and resilience.
