Innovation

The mission of the Robert W. Galvin Center for Electricity Innovation is to pursue groundbreaking work in the generation, transmission, distribution, management and consumption of electricity. Galvin Center brings together universities, industry, government and non-profit research entities to plug into IIT’s microgrid, research laboratories and Technology Park, creating a hub – or sandbox – for new innovations in advanced grid technology.

Galvin Center is affiliated with the Wanger Institute for Sustainable Energy Research (WISER) at IIT.

The Galvin Center operation encompasses two additional centers including CSMART and SPIKE, which are highlighted below.
