Durham Energy Institute offers a comprehensive event programme featuring diverse formats each academic term. This includes in-house seminars, online public events, a dedicated public lecture series, and an annual conference.
In-house seminars bring external experts to campus to present cutting-edge energy research from other institutions or share relevant updates for Durham researchers. These primarily in-person events target the Durham academic community across various departments.
Online seminars showcase the work of DEI's own researchers, reaching beyond campus to engage local government officials, industry professionals, and energy enthusiasts from the general public.
The public lecture series features prominent speakers from the energy industry, political sphere, and charity sector who share the latest insights from the energy world.
Through these varied formats, Durham Energy Institute promotes interdisciplinary exchange and knowledge-sharing about complex energy challenges and innovations. By utilising both in-person and online platforms, DEI effectively engages diverse stakeholder groups and extends the impact of its research.
