8th North East Energy Materials and Systems Meeting (NEEMS 8)

8th North East Energy Materials and Systems Meeting (NEEMS 8)

Tuesday 22nd November 2022, 9am - 5pm

The 2022 global energy landscape is characterised by volatility that has created significant uncertainty around our ability to meet the Paris Agreement. Research, innovation and skills across traditional interfaces are now more important than ever and on behalf of the EPSRC CDT in ReNU, we invite you to join the NEEMS 8 meeting on campus at Northumbria University. The focus of the meeting is on tangible approaches, driven by industry, to reducing CO2 emissions as well as identifying the attributes required of the next-generation of high-skill graduates.
