TeachEnergy Workshop

Welcome to the first TeachEnergy Workshop - an opportunity for discussing and sharing knowledge for teaching and learning energy.

Our aims are simple - to build a community of practice around energy teaching and learning, to encourage multi-disciplinarity, to encourage diversity.

If you would like to take part in this interactive workshop for a day of discussion, knowledge sharing, and networking, please do join us at the University of Birmingham on May 21st, 2019, 9:30 to 17:00.

If you would like to give a brief presentation (10 minutes including Q&A) on any aspect of energy teaching and learning that is of interest to you or on which you would like feedback, please select the relevant ticket as well as your main ticket.

There are tickets available if you would like to participate remotely and our aim is to enable participants to give their presentation remotely too.

We will ask for information regarding dietary requirements closer to the event.

For any questions, please contact: c.favero@bham.ac.uk or I.A.G.Wilson@bham.ac.uk
