wholeSEM celebrates first birthday

The whole systems energy modelling consortium (wholeSEM) celebrated a successful first year by holding their inaugural Annual Conference on 8th & 9th July at the Royal Academy of Engineering. The conference brought together stakeholders from academia, government and industry to discuss and analyse the latest UK government long term pathways from alternate modelling perspectives. Comments from the day can be found here.

UCL Energy Institute announced last year that it would lead the ground breaking consortium, along with University of Cambridge, Imperial College London and University of Surrey. wholeSEM is funded for 4 years by EPSRC and aims to employ extensive integration mechanisms to link and apply interdisciplinary models to key energy policy problems.
