The Energy Ethics Research Project is proud to bring you these two parallel events: the Launch of the new Centre for Energy Ethics at the University of St Andrews and the Art of Energy.

Note this is an online event over two days hosted on Microsoft Teams on Feb 25th and 26th, 1400 - 1600hrs GMT. Each day will also be followed by virtual pub sessions hosted on Zoom.

Centre for Energy Ethics

The Centre for Energy Ethics aims to create a space for interdisciplinary research and discussions about energy, bringing together insights from the worlds of science and technology with economics, the humanities and the fine arts. To learn more about our mission, sign up to the Launch Event!

Art of Energy

Global energy demand continues to rise. To meet this demand energy producers are increasingly relying on innovative methods of harvesting energy from fossil fuels, nuclear and renewable sources. At the same time, public concern about the impact of anthropogenic climate change is growing, alongside tense conflicts over the human and environmental impact of energy production, distribution, consumption and waste-handling. Recognising that this energy predicament has no simple answer, it raises fundamental questions about what we consider to be right or good, and the kinds of energy futures we envision for ourselves, our communities, and future generations around the world.

The Energy Ethics team has invited artists to reflect on these issues and is holding an open art competition. The call for creative submissions is open until the 10th of February, and selected works will be exhibited in an online gallery. Winners of the award will be announced during the afternoon of the 26th of February!
