Jackson School of Geosciences –
The Center for International Energy and Environmental Policy (CIEEP) is a joint venture of the Jackson School of Geosciences, the LBJ School of Public Affairs, and the College of Engineering. It focuses on the development of national and international energy and environmental policy options with emphasis on the technical perspective that is most commonly lacking in policy efforts at academic institutions distant from the energy industry and educational scene. CIEEP has put on EU-focused conferences before, including bringing in the French Ambassador to the US in the Fall of 2008 to discuss French-US energy issues, bringing together Texas business leaders and policy makers.
