Courses
Introduction to the Energy Transition is a course that covers an increasingly important issue with respect to climate change, ecology, energy policies, supply disruption, and competition for energy.
What made our planet habitable? This course uses physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, and biology, to narrate Earth's story, from the synthesis of chemical elements in the stars to today’s global environmental challenges and human activities in space.
Join us for a celebration of human progress in understanding “The Enigmatic Universe”, using the latest advances in astronomy and planetary science. All are welcome at this weekend event, directed by leading researchers and experienced lecturers.
Boldly go on a voyage of discovery through our solar system, as well as the planetary systems of other stars. Learn about space exploration, planetary science and the perennial search for habitable planets and extra-terrestrial life.
Explore energy systems in use today, and how they are involved in an unprecedented Energy Transition in order to reduce pollution and climate change risks. Understand these risks and their mitigation through Net Zero targets and innovation.
