Description

About this Event

Dr Saul Griffith will deliver the keynote followed by a Q&A and poster session "Putting Households First in the Energy Transition”.

Join us for this important conversation about Australia’s energy future. Bridging national policy with household-level action, Saul will highlight how bold, coordinated policy can unlock electrification and behaviour change.

Saul researches and talks about the energy system, mapping it from generation down to the toasters we use and electrifying everything to rapidly reduce emissions and transform how we use energy. Saul’s newest book, Plug In!: The Electrification Handbook, is everything you need to know for your electrification journey.

Following the keynote, our poster session will feature both technology and social science-led research.

Please join us for the keynote, followed by drinks and canapes and discussion about current research. Please email mvi@unisa.edu.au with any special dietary requirements.
