About this Event
ENSIGN Dissemination Event – What, Why, What Next?
ENSIGN is a collaborative initiative between academia, the EPSRC, and industry, aimed at advancing the UK’s energy transition. The proposal was initiated by SP Energy Networks (SPEN) and co‑developed with academic partners from the Universities of Strathclyde, Heriot‑Watt, St Andrews, and Liverpool.
The purpose of this event is to demonstrate and showcase the Ensign project and its outputs so far. The project is effectively just past the “halfway point”, and we are keen to engage with others on the outputs to date, and, more importantly, on the “next half” of the project, to ensure that our future activities and outputs will have the maximum impact and be of value to our stakeholders and the wider community.
