Just transitions and air travel: air travel inequality and distributional impacts of flight taxes
Prof Milena Buchs (University of Leeds)
Wednesday 03 May 2023 | Desert Room
Large demand reductions need to be realised in the transport sector for the UK to meet its climate targets. Scholars and policy makers increasingly acknowledge that demand reduction needs to be designed in a socially fair way that focuses responsibility on those who have contributed more to climate change and have more capacity to bear cost, while ensuring that the [...]

Photovoltaics reshaped – Unlimited design opportunities enabled by printed organic solar cells
Dr Sebastian Meier (ASCA/ARMOR)
Tuesday 25 Apr 2023
The ability to translate thin photovoltaic films into any shape and their integration into any kind of surface is a game changer. It also creates a paradigm shift in the energy sector as energy can now be generated and consumed directly at the point of use.
The talk will focus on ASCA’s pioneering work in the commercialisation of OPV and the [...]
