In late 2012 Chris & Chris were awarded funding from the EF-CDT to go to Nepal and make film highlighting the energy landscape in Nepal. Through interviews with those in charge as well as the people whose daily lives are impacted, this film asks the question: what is Nepals energy future? For those unable to make it to London, the film will be released online shortly afterwards.

How can processes of change be usefully conceptualized? and, how can our understandings of the past improve our ability to project, steer and shape futures of energy consumption? Applications are invited from research students, researchers, academics and practitioners. Participants, along with researchers and academics from the DEMAND Centre will be encouraged to consider the topic from different angles and disciplinary perspectives and to think about how the theoretical and methodological issues discussed relate to their own work. The 3 intensive days will be academically challenging and fun, with presentations, indoor and outdoor workshops and networking activities. ________________________________________ For details of more events check out NERN website.
