Energy in the Locality: a day‐conference to explore local energy case studies in urban and rural locations
8 May 2012, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1
The Energy in the Locality Conference will be held at University College London on 8 May 2012. A detailed Conference Call will be issued in January 2012.
Many current research projects on energy systems are using urban and rural case studies to explore a variety of research questions. The conference will provide an opportunity to hear results from local case studies on different aspects of energy systems, and to reflect on the theoretical and methodological implications of using case studies to understand such systems.
A key-note address will be provided by Professor Patrick Devine-Wright of Exeter University. Thereafter the conference will be structured into three streams:
Ø The Theory and Methodology of Case Study Research: the theoretical and methodological foundations of local case study research in relation to energy studies;
Ø Results from Urban and Rural Energy Case Studies: overviews of research findings from projects based on urban and/or rural energy case studies; and
Ø A Case Study Circus: short presentations focusing on ‘one-offs’ innovative local energy case studies.
In addition, there will be a Poster Session where delegates can view summaries of research projects during refreshment periods.
Abstract submissions will take the form of:
Ø an abstract of up to 250 words for papers for ‘Theory and Methodology’ or ‘Results’ sessions, and/or
Ø a brief outline of up to 50 words for the ‘Case Study Circus’ or the’ Poster Session’.
