Generation 2050 - The Future of Clean Energy in the West of England

A panel on how the West of England turns green investment into local jobs and energy security, run by UWE Bristol's Sustainability Team with the South West and Wales Young Professionals branch of the Energy Institute. The evening doubles as the launch of UWE's MSc Sustainable Technology, and a good part of the discussion is about what the 2050 regional energy workforce looks like and who trains it. Networking drinks from 17:00 in the Z Block atrium, panel at 18:00 in room 3Z015, close at 19:00. Free, at Frenchay Campus. The organisers ask people to come by bus or bike and run a booking form for the few parking spaces. Part of UWE's Green Fortnight. Panellists were not named at the time of listing. Why go: cleantech skills and hiring in this region get discussed in policy documents far more often than in a room with the Energy Institute and a university engineering school in it. Best for engineers, sustainability leads and people weighing a move into energy.
