Energy Science Seminar 2023

July 27th Trinity College Dublin

The MSc in Energy Science programme in Trinity College Dublin in collaboration with the Energy Institute, the Faculty of STEM, and the AMBER Research Centre are delighted to welcome you to our annual Energy Science 2023 seminar, this is an in person event which takes place in the large lecture theatre in the Fitzgerald building in Trinity College Dublin. This event will feature a number of speakers from industry to discuss their company and our energy space in Ireland and internationally.

The focus of this seminar is to promote Energy Science, exchange information and to provide the Energy Science class students the opportunity to i) Learn about energy science from the perspective of different companies, ii) Develop international contact networks in energy storage, iii) Discuss with our hosts related issues and concerns across the energy science.

We have an exciting range of speakers ranging in areas from EV charging and solar energy management solutions, Hydrogen for mobility, Carbon capture technologies, fuel cell systems, cathode material technologies for electrification in transportation and energy storage, Radiation Agency, Energy trading and Statistics and Electrical grid East-West Interconnector.

Here you will find link to the registration and the information poster. Most grateful if you can complete the registration form to confirm your attendance and to assist in our arrangements for the day.

Kind Regards, Max, Nigel, Eleanor & Energy Science Management Team
