Overview

The University Energy Institute Leaders Collaborative (UEILC) is a first-of-its-kind partnership of U.S. university-based energy institutes formed to address the critical challenges facing America’s energy systems. Members include leaders of over 150 energy institutes and a network of energy experts from around the world working together to inspire meaningful research, engage scholarship, inform regional and national policy, impact decision-making, and re-imagine energy education to be ready to create the future of energy systems.

This October, The Ohio State University will host UEILC's October 2024 summit with the aim to advance the clean energy transition through innovation in education and inclusion of social science disciplines.

UEILC and the October summit is supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Travel to UEILC October Summit 

Airport

The John Glenn International Airport (CMH) is east of campus about 12 miles and about 20 minutes away from Ohio State campus locations. 

Unfortunately, there is not a mass-transit option between the airport and Columbus campus of Ohio State. None of the campus-area hotels provide airport shuttle service. Taxis and ride share options are convenient.

Meeting Shuttles

Meeting Shuttles will provide transportation from two hotels at the beginning and end of each day of meetings. Those staying at nearby hotels are welcome to walk to the nearest shuttle stop. Shuttle transportation will also be provided to the building for the Thursday evening Dialog session, with shuttles returning to the same two hotels.

Shuttle stops will be at:

  • Hyatt House Columbus OSU-Short North
  • Residence Inn Columbus OSU

Private Car Transportation

Many of the area hotels have free surface lot parking for their guests. If you choose to park on campus, there is a ticket system with payment kiosks for the campus parking garages. There is a parking app for the campus surface lots called Park Columbus (powered by ParkMobile).

The closest public parking to Pomerene Hall, Thursday location, is the 11th Avenue Garage, located at 229 West 11th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210. A parking garage voucher will be available at check-in.

The closest public parking to the Energy Advancement and Innovation Center (EAIC), Friday location, is the surface lot on Innovation Way in front of the building. When using GPS, use Mount Hall (1050 Carmack Rd, Columbus, OH 43210) as the destination, but then drive past that location a little further down Innovation Way to the surface parking lot in front of the EAIC. Once parked in that lot, use the Park Columbus (or ParkMobile) app to pay, using Parking Area 69637.

Other parking locations across the university campus are identified on this map and parking finder.
