Connecting Just Transitions Event
Connecting Just Transitions Event
The Centre for Energy along with colleagues from Law, Politics Environment Research Group and the Business School hosted a cross-department event that brought together academics with an interest in the ‘Just Transitions’ remit, to find out more about work in this area across the university and to have a sandpit type discussion around working together/research ideas. We had six presenters who gave an overview of their current research projects, followed by a plenary discussion to highlight areas where cross-department collaborations will be useful.
