The Energy Centre invites you to an open forum aimed at sharing our research. Our research programme focusses on energy-related problem-solving research of importance to New Zealand. This is an opportunity for participants to suggest topics to enhance the impact of our research. Research fellows and other staff will provide a brief overview of their research findings, with recent updates relevant to business, government and the community (10-minute presentations followed by 10-minute discussions).
