Sustainable Energy: New Solutions from Physics and Engineering

This meeting at the Institute of Physics in London aims to highlight new scientific and engineering ventures which are beginning to give some solutions to the provision of new energy sources and reduction in carbon emission. Sustainable energy is one of the main areas identified by research councils for support and the meeting will give an opportunity for academics and industrialists to seek new collaborations for fundamental and applied research in this area. For this reason, speakers have been asked to give a non-specialist level overview of their work and outline areas where further work is urgently required. A long luncheon break, a poster display and short 5 minute talks, some by representatives from energy-based companies will be included in the day’s events. Energy-related companies are invited to provide a poster display of their products, or, provide leaflets to be included in delegate packs at a small charge. For registration and further details see website: http://www.iop.org/Conferences or contact Lisa Cornwell (lisa.cornwell@iop.org) For short contributions, posters or commercial displays please contact the programme chair John Colligon (J.Colligon@mmu.ac.uk) The Applied Physics and Technology Division has an annual prize for any student member of a subject group in the Division. The 2008 prize will be awarded to the best poster presented at this meeting on any relevant APT Division theme and is worth £100. A letter from the supervisor confirming that the student has made a significant contribution to the work is required when submitting the Abstract.
