Watts Next? Imperial Alumni Insights into Power & Renewables

The Power and Energy Society (PES) provides the world’s largest forum for sharing the latest in technological developments in the electric power industry, for developing standards that guide the development and construction of equipment and systems, and for educating members of the industry and the general public. Members of the Power and Energy Society are leaders in this field and they — and their employers — derive substantial benefits from involvement with this unique and outstanding association. Its mission is to “…be the leading provider of scientific and engineering information on electric power and energy for the betterment of society and the preferred professional development source for our members”; our Chapter executes this mission in the UK and Ireland region.

Join us for an enlightening seminar, "Watts Next? Imperial Alumni Insights into Power & Renewables," where three distinguished alumni will share their journey from academia to industry, offering invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities in the path to decarbonization.
