Students interested in the renewable energy and biofuel industry in Michigan can present their research and invention proposals to field experts at Biofuel Inventors’ Day.

Undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students must submit proposals relevant to the renewable energy and biofuel industry in Michigan by March 14.

Students should submit a two-page proposal describing their research, invention or idea, as well as its potential commercial value.

The top five submissions will present their findings at the conference and will receive a $1,000 award.

The conference, to be held April 11 at the James B. Henry Center for Executive Development in Lansing, is a collaboration between the Michigan Center for Innovation & Economic Prosperity and MSU’s James Madison College.
