CER Charter

The Center for Energy Research (CER) was established to help create solutions to the growing challenges of energy supply and utilization in our society.

The Center exists to facilitate, coordinate and promote energy research and education. It accomplishes these goals by providing resources and administrative support to researchers, assistance with business development, event hosting, publicity, outreach and educational activities.

Members of the Center include faculty, research staff, support staff and students.

Members are provided:

• administrative and financial support for research and outreach activities
• office and laboratory space
• opportunities for interdisciplinary interactions
• support for new business development
• recognition through our public relations and promotional activities
• leadership opportunities
• a collegial work environment

As citizens of a community, the Center also places expectations on its members. Members are expected to participate in events, contribute to Center publications and outreach activities, and maintain a collegial work environment.

Affiliate membership provides benefits to members of the university, business and local communities without full participation in CER activities. The privileges and responsibilities of affiliate members are enumerated in the CER bylaws.
