Faculty Lead: Audun Botterud
Project Description: Dr. Botterud, Principal Research Scientist in the MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems, and Professor Ilic, Visiting Professor at the MIT Institute for Data, Systems and Society, are working to build an inter-disciplinary community which brings together policy makers and academics to discuss policies that can incentivize innovation in electricity infrastructure. This broad goal will be accomplished by holding the 11th annual MIT-CMU Conference on the Electricity Industry at MIT. The IPL is helping to frame the conference around policy questions and identify the appropriate policy audience to engage.
IPL Support: Framing the conference, providing connections to others at MIT, editing, and logistical support.
