One of the major societal challenges for our world revolves around energy and the goal conflicts that arise in the prioritisation of energy system choices.
During an afternoon, some of Uppsala's and the world's most prominent researchers gather to shed light on the state of research, the challenges, and the resource needs, each bringing their unique perspectives to the discussion.
Join us at Uppsala University Renewable Energy Symposium!
