this @greenhouseuis.net programme is no April fool!

April is bursting with activities, energy, and visitors, so make sure to drop by the online book talks or the events in Stavanger!

🌷

You can find an overview of the events on our blog The Current: www.uis.no/en/the-curre...

If you are in Aarhus, Gothenburg or Stavanger, make sure to drop by the events that explore local memories and lived experiences through discussions, conversations and interaction, all organised by Energy Lives! researchers at @au.dk , Chalmers University of Technology and @unistavanger.bsky.social

We all have memories and experiences with energy and how it has shaped our lives – and we are interested in your memories and lived experiences!

Just think about heating and electricity: what has changed throughout your life? Perhaps there is a moment that stands out? Perhaps it’s the subtle changes that can tell a story?

Energy Lives! organises its annual Infrastructural Citizen Week these days!

When we hear the word ‘energy transition’ we usually think of the future, yet energy transitions have happened throughout history and have histories that continue to shape our present times.
