The SERL and EDOL teams were strongly represented at the ECEEE conference in France in June 2024.
The ‘summer study’ of the European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ECEEE) dubbed ‘Europe’s most important energy efficiency event’ was held in Lac d’Ailette from 10th to 15th June.
Members of the SERL and EDOL teams from University College London and the University of Oxford delivered papers, extended abstracts, informal workshops, and posters promoting their research. The team also got chance to network with European colleagues to learn about their work and discuss possible collaborations. SERL/EDOL inputs to the conference included:
