The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy seeks applicants to its Cleantech University Prize (Cleantech UP) program. DOE is funding three-year awards in two topic areas.

Topic 1 establishes the Cleantech UP Hub, a national center for student-focused clean energy entrepreneurship training and education. The Cleantech UP Hub will also coordinate a national competition for student start-ups and administer its prize.

Topic 2 funds collegiate-Âfocused competitions across the United States. Collegiate competitions will include a cash prize, as well as opportunities for students to develop the business and commercialization skills to move clean energy technologies from discovery to market.
