19 May: Theme day Energy
The transition to a sustainable energy system, in Sweden and globally, is one of the great challenges of our time. Within Uppsala University, energy research has long been a prioritised area, with strong research environments in areas such as energy conversion, storage, fuels, and energy transfer.
During this day, you will learn more about international and national cutting-edge research conducted at the university as well as companies. Through parallel sessions, the strong research environments within the faculty are captured, and together with companies, researchers, authorities, and politicians the need for energy research and collaboration will be discussed, from both a short- and long-term perspective. How should municipalities, regions, and companies work together with universities to achieve a sustainable energy system?
Registration is now closed.
Some lectures and presentations are livestreamed on zoom. If they can be viewed digitally, there is an (L) after the title. You do not need to have registered to take part in the lectures digitally.
