Objective: The objective of “Research Opportunities for Undergraduates: Training in New Energies (ROUTINE)” is to increase the pool of scientists engaged in the very relevant and complex field of clean energy research. It will do so through a focus on undergraduate students, particularly female students, providing them with hands-on research experience in diverse topics in Clean Energy and Energy Materials.

• Our focus on clean energy is driven by the importance and relevance of this topic to development of the sub region as well as the complex, collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of research in this area.
