Ep 16 Part 1: WISE and the AE4H Innovation Lab - Tackling energy poverty through globally established networks

Episode Summary Part 1 of this episode introduces the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy (WISE), and builds context on the AE4H project as well how the Innovation Lab conferences were designed.  --- Preface Approximately 1 billion people in the world today live without access to the energy required for basic life functions such as cooking and seeing at night. The Affordable Energy 4 Humanity (AE4H) Innovation Lab 2019 dedicated three days to bring some of the world's top energy experts together to establish global networks and start collaborations for today's increasingly complex energy access challenges.  EWB UW had the privilege of attending and interviewing some of these experts in search of insights on what it means to work in Energy Access today. Join us on a 3-part episode to learn about how Energy Access relates to development work, how you can get involved through co-op opportunities and fellowships, and the perspectives experts have on their work. --- Notable links: Do you like these kinds of episodes?
