The Departments of Mathematics & Statistics and
Design, Development, Environment and Materials in the Faculty
of Mathematics, Computing and Technology are hosting a day meeting on
Energy Research for the UK community. The meeting will cover
a wide range of areas in energy policy and energy systems
and participation by industry professionals (including those
who seek partners in academia) is very much welcome.
All members of the UK Energy Research community are invited
to attend the meeting. Registration is free and lunch and
refreshments will be providced free of charge to participants in the conference. A limited fund is available to assist
with the travel costs of PhD students and early career
researchers who wish to attend the meeting. Please contact
Ben Mestel if you require financial assistance. Participants are invited
to ofer short talks (20 - 30 mins) on their
research or open problems, but everybody is most welcome to attend
whether presenting or not.
Please note that the programme is now complete, so unfortunately we
are unable to accept further offers of presentations for the

The MCT Faculty has recently made a significant strategic investment in
Energy Research with the appointment of a new chair and lecturers in

themed events in the future.
