'''Bioenergy Research and Education Bridge (BRIDGES)''' is a program by the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) designed to integrate bioenergy research into educational settings through case study-based curricula. It aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed for careers in the bioenergy sector, emphasizing hands-on learning and real-world problem-solving in sustainable energy practices.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/bioenergy-research-and-education-bridge |title=Bioenergy Research and Education Bridge |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref> {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/bioenergy-research-and-education-bridge}} ==Goals== * Introduce students to bioenergy concepts through practical application.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/bioenergy-research-and-education-bridge |title=Bioenergy Research and Education Bridge |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref> * Foster career pathways in the bioenergy and sustainable energy sectors. * Enhance understanding of environmental sustainability and energy transitions. ==Organization== BRIDGES is organized by BETO in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and Idaho National Laboratory (INL). It's managed by educational specialists and bioenergy researchers, with funding coming from DOE's budget for education and workforce development in clean energy. The leader of the program typically holds a title like **Program Manager for Education and Workforce Development** within BETO. ==Partners== * No specific partnerships are listed, but BRIDGES works with educational institutions and community partners. ==History== BRIDGES was launched in 2022 to address the need for educational programs that prepare students for the emerging bioenergy economy. It was developed from the insights of bioenergy research at national labs and feedback from educational partners. Since its inception, BRIDGES has expanded its reach by offering resources like case studies, instructor guides, and student materials, all aimed at integrating bioenergy into STEM education at various levels. ==Funding== While specifics on initial funding are not detailed, BRIDGES is supported by DOE's allocations for education initiatives within the bioenergy sector. Funding supports the development and distribution of educational materials, workshops, and professional development for educators. ==Implementation== Implementation involves: * Development of case studies and educational materials tailored for classroom use. * Hosting webinars and workshops for educators to integrate bioenergy into their teaching. * Continuous feedback and updates to educational content based on user experience and industry developments. BRIDGES is intended to be an ongoing program, adapting as the bioenergy field evolves. ==Related== * [[Bioenergy Technologies Office]] * [[Argonne National Laboratory]] ==External links== * https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/bioenergy-research-and-education-bridge * wikipedia:Bioenergy Research and Education Bridge ===Social media=== * No specific social media accounts for BRIDGES; follow the Department of Energy for updates. ==References== [[Category:Programs and initiatives]] [[Category:Programs]] [[Category:Department of Energy]]
