<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Are you a grad student with a clean
energy technology that can be commercialised? Are you passionate about
clean energy and wondering how you can maximize your impact? Want to
know what it's like to start a new cleantech venture? If any of these
describe you, then come check out the Founder's Panel Discussion.
Several previous-MIT PhDs, now-clean energy entrepreneurs, will share
with you their motivations behind their career choice, their
challenges and successes in their journey from academia to
entrepreneurship and answer questions you may have about taking an
idea and building a successful business around it.</blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>ABOUT CEP</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>The MIT Clean Energy Prize is the
world's premier student competition for early-stage energy ventures
with the potential to catalyze a new generation of clean energy
solutions. The MIT CEP endeavors to inspire and train entrepreneurs to
build companies that will significantly accelerate the pace of energy
innovation. The competition offers a low-risk, high-reward environment
for student entrepreneurs to develop business ideas with the aid of
mentorship and rigorous judging feedback, while gaining exposure to
some of the biggest thinkers in the clean energy space. The 2012
competition comprises three categories (Energy Efficiency, Renewable
Energy, and Deployment & Infrastructure) and culminates with a
Grand Prize award of $200,000, in addition to three Category Winner
awards of $20,000. See <a
href="http://cep.mit.edu/">cep.mit.edu</a> for deadlines and more
information.</blockquote>
