Green Energy Symposium

When: Wednesday, October 19, 2022 - Monday, October 17, 2022, 2:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Where: G. O Jones Building (Physics) Lecture Theatre, Mile End

Speaker: Various

We are running a “Green Energy” symposium, which is a forum in which some of our key staff will highlight their research in the green energy theme. It’s one of the many events we have planned for the Faculty Green Energy Theme. Academics, students and researchers will be given the opportunity to network during coffee and a social event afterwards, which is especially important for a new cohort of PhD students. It’s corresponds to the QMUL Sustainability Week and is ideally timed for COP27.
