Fair Energy Futures Sandpit

The Fair Energy Futures Sandpit will bring together researchers interested in different aspects of the global transition to a fair energy future.

The Horizons Institute in collaboration with Energy Leeds would like to invite you to participate in our upcoming Fair Energy Futures Sandpit event on Wednesday 26 February 2025, 09.30 – 13.30.

The Fair Energy Futures Sandpit aims to bring together a range of researchers, interested in different aspects of the global transition to a fair energy future, to develop new approaches, research ideas and collaborations.

By focusing on a set of key questions or challenges, posed by early to mid-career researchers, the sandpit will enable researchers to:

• develop new interdisciplinary approaches
• develop their understanding of relevant and related work going on across the university,
• broaden their networks and identify potential new collaborations.

The sandpit will focus discussions around six challenges identified by early to mid-career researchers. These should address the global transition to a fair energy future, and might include, but are not limited to, the themes set out for Fair Energy Futures. Through a series of facilitated activities, participants will be encouraged to explore intersections between disciplines and identify new interdisciplinary approaches to tackle the challenges.

Refreshments will be provided in the morning and lunch will be available at 13.00 for anyone who wishes to stay on and network after the main sandpit activity.

Reserve a spot via Eventbrite.
