ESRIG symposium | November 19, 2019 | ESRIG - Energy and Sustainability Research Institute Groningen

The mission of performing energy and sustainability research is executed in a balanced way, with both an experimental part (laboratory and field experiments), and a part with model studies and studies into societal interaction with scientific knowledge. The goal of the ESRIG symposium is to showcase the breadth and quality of the research being conducted at ESRIG.

You are cordially invited to attend this symposium, which will be held in the lecture room 5161.0253 of the Bernoulliborg on Zernike campus of the University of Groningen.

But there is more! This Afternoon we would also like to mark the retirement of Prof. dr. H.B. (Howard) Levinsky. Howard will give his farewell lecture "Getting from A to B: thoughts on the future of energy conversion" at 15.30h.
