18thOERC Symposium 2024 – Our Changing Relationship with energy
21–22 November in the Barnett Lecture Theatre, Dunedin Public Hospital, 201 Great King Street, Central Dunedin
The symposium brings together diverse perspectives and strategies towards our changing relationship with energy.
The theme for this year’s symposium is: Our changing relationship with energy. This is to capture the idea that many sectors are seeing increasing electrification and there are increasing opportunities for people to generate electricity, or be more flexible in their usage.
