About this event

  • 4 days 1 hour

Researchers active in the field of Heating and Cooling Decarbonisation are invited to attend a 5 day Summer School exploring the latest research and research gaps in the transition to netzero heating and cooling.

The Cool Summer School will feature presentations from leading researchers, knowledge exchange with colleagues, visits to regional exemplar projects, discussions on networking and career development and a chance to bid for funding for research ideas.

Spaces are limited for this school, and applications are especially welcomed from Early Career Researchers and/or those included within minority groups. A travel bursary is available for the School, however attendees will be required to pay for accommodation at Hatfield College at a cost of £52.50pppn.

C-DICE have offered to cover the costs of accommodation for 5 places, so do please get your application in as soon as possible to secure this support.
