SUMMARY:IoES/Luskin Lunch Research Seminar: Public Utility and the Low-Carbon Future
DESCRIPTION:Substantialreductions in global power sector emissions will be needed by midcentury to\navoid significant disruption of the climate system. Achieving these reductions\nwill require greatly increased levels of financing\, technological innovation\,\nand policy reform. In the United States\, the scale and complexity of the\noverall challenge have raised important questions regarding prevailing\nregulatory and business models\, with much scrutiny directed at the traditional\npractice of public utility regulation. Recognizing the many valid criticisms leveled\nagainst public utility regulation and the important questions raised about the\nviability of traditional utility business models\, particularly in the face of\nsubstantial growth in distributed energy resources\, this talk argues that a\nrevitalized and expanded notion of public utility has a critical role to play\nin efforts to decarbonize the power sector in the United States. The talk will\ntrace the history of public utility (in concept and practice) over the last\ncentury\, the problems embedded in current regulatory and business models\, and\nthe prospects for reforming such models in the face of rapid technological\nchange and growing decarbonization imperatives. The central claim is that the\noverall scale\, complexity\, and sequencing of investments needed to decarbonize\nthe power sector over the coming decades (however it comes to be organized)\ncalls for a broad notion of public utility that draws from earlier\nunderstandings of the concept and provides an important foundation for efforts\nto govern a power system that is increasingly complex\, participatory\, and\nintelligent\, and for managing the sustained\, collective effort to channel\ninvestment and behavior in ways necessary to realize a low-carbon future. \nThe\ntalk will draw from a recent paper and some ongoing work. The paper is here if\npeople are interested: Public Utility and the Low Carbon Future\, 61 UCLA L. Rev.1614 (2014). \n Lunch\nwill be provided.

SUMMARY:What are we Missing? Rethinking Strategies to Advance Women in Technology
DESCRIPTION:*REGISTRATION REQUIRED. PLEASE CONTACT REBECCA SADWICK RSADWICK@LUSKIN.UCLA.EDU FOR REGISTRATION INFORMATION.  Event SummaryWhat Are We Missing? Rethinking\nStrategies to Advance Women in Technology (Conference to Advance Women in Tech) will explore effective\nways to advance women of all races\, backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses in\nthe tech sector.    \nStrategies to reduce gender inequality in the tech\nsector fall into three main categories: personal\, private and public. Rather\nthan focusing on personal strategies that place the onus of cultural change on\nindividuals\, this conference will focus on private and public strategies that\nfoster systemic change. Specifically we will address private strategies at the\nentrepreneurial and corporate levels as well as public strategies—such as non-profit\ninitiatives\, public-private partnerships and public policies—to result in\nmeasurable advancements for women in tech. \nThis one-day conference at UCLA will\nbe held on April 30\, 2015\, and will\ninclude two concurrent tracks of breakout sessions. Participants will be asked\nto choose one track to attend for both morning and afternoon sessions\, and will\nleave the event with specific\, actionable takeaways. \nTrack 1. Fostering Women as Tech Entrepreneurs in Startups\nand Small Tech FirmsWhat are effective strategies to foster female leadership in\nstartups and small businesses? The panels and discussion in this track will\nexplore government\, private\, and nonprofit strategies to foster female\nentrepreneurship. This will include a focus on funding as well as accelerators\,\nstartup\, and resource initiatives. \nTrack 2.  Attracting and Retaining\nWomen in Medium and Large CompaniesWhat are the public policies\,\ncorporate policies\, and workforce culture issues that affect the attraction and\nretention of women in tech? The panels and discussion in this track will\ndiscuss effective ways to create sustainable environments in which women and\ntheir employers prosper. \nIntended\nAudienceThis event aims to bring together:  \n●	Corporate leaders and employees●	Entrepreneurs\, and startup support institutions (incubators\, accelerators\, etc.)●	Non-profit leaders and advocates●	Academics\, STEM educators\, students\, and parents●	Policymakers and legislators●	Journalists and the mediaAgenda8:00 		Registration & Breakfast8:30		Welcome8:40		Morning Keynote Plenary9:45		First Breakout Session Panels	Track 1: Accelerators\, Incubators\, and other Startup Resources	Track 2: Corporate & Public Policies to Attract Women to Tech Companies11:00	Networking Break11:15	Second Breakout Session Panels	Track 1: Startup Funding Pipeline	Track 2: Policies for Building Retention12:30	Lunch1:15		Lunch Keynote1:45 		Breakout Discussions3:00		Presentation of Solutions: Summary of Breakout Tracks3:30		Afternoon Keynote3:50 		Closing Remarks4:00		Reception
