Sustainability, Environment and Energy Research (SEER) @ NUS 2013

Talks and Panel Discussions on "Sustainable Singapore: Innovations in Energy & Environment"

23 and 24 April 2013
University Hall Auditorium
University Hall, Lee Kong Chian Wing, Level 2

SEER@NUS 2012 was the first Sustainability, Environment and Energy Research Symposium organized by the NUS Energy Office which featured the broad spectrum of R&D in NUS from different faculties touching on various aspects of energy in the context of environmental sustainability. Consistent feedback on how to improve the symposium for 2013 focused on two areas: more interactive panel discussions rather than lengthy talks by individual researchers and a tighter focus on key areas in energy where NUS can display its research strengths.

SEER@NUS 2013 will have technical presentations and panel discussions with participants from government, industry and NUS in the following areas:

• Energy & Environment: Issues and Challengs
• Climate / Weather Issues and Bio-resources
• Policy and Technology
• Systems Research and Technology
• Key Materials Research and Technology
• Challenges for Singapore in Energy and Environment

This event is open to NUS staff/students and the public.
