Friday webinars

This series of webinars consists of highly interactive events, during which expert participants discuss emerging issues related to sustainable energy technology and policy. During the session, participants can test arguments and share electronic documents, such as powerpoint presentations, pdf's, ...

Events are announced with an article elaborating the question and providing relevant background information. This post is a live document, that serves to collect reader comments before the webinar. After the webinar, the article is updated with the sessions outcomes, and the discussion can continue online.

The events aim to define an issue in its complexity by sharing a variety of viewpoints. Where relevant, session outcomes are reported anonymously on the site.

The webinars are free of charge, but prior registration is needed. Upon registration, an email with access details for the webinar is sent.
