UK Nanotube Collaborative Workshop

The vision of the Energy Research Safety Institute (ESRI) and Swansea University is “building the bridge to a sustainable, affordable and secure energy future.”ESRI is positioned to achieve this aim through the discovery and implementation of new technology for a sustainable, affordable, and secure energy future. The term safety is meant in the broad context of security of supply, long-term sustainability and operational safety.ESRI is housed on Swansea University’s new world class Bay Campus. ESRI provides an exceptional environment for delivering cutting edge research across energy and energy safety related disciplines.

<P>The Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI) at Swansea University is hosting a <STRONG>UK-wide Nanotube Collaborative Workshop on the 24th March 2017.</STRONG> The vision of the Energy Research Safety Institute (ESRI) and Swansea University is “building the bridge to a sustainable, affordable and secure energy future.”</P>
<P>Our keynote speaker will be <STRONG>Marcus Stewart, the Head of Energy Insights at National Grid.</STRONG> “We are in the midst of an energy revolution. The economic, technological and consumer landscapes are changing at an unprecedented rate”. This conference will feature ways that carbon nanotubes will contribute to this change.</P>
<P>During this workshop, we will explore the challenges and opportunities associated with the synthesis and applications of carbon nanotubes for the transport of electricity, and associated technologies for the smart grid of the future. The purpose of this workshop is to: </P>
<UL>
<LI>Build community, linking interests between industry and academics</LI>
<LI>Foment and promote partnerships, and foster research ideas that are relevant to industry</LI>
<LI>Establish collaborations with the intention of leveraging future research funding.</LI>
</UL>
<H2><BR></H2>
<H2><STRONG>Topics</STRONG></H2>
<P>Topics to be discussed include:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Fabrication of electrical cables, and devices, using carbon nanotubes (CNTs)</LI>
<LI>Commercialisation of CNT products</LI>
<LI>Applications of CNT devices to the smart grid</LI>
</UL>
