Energy in Cities: ‘What Does The Future Hold?’

Energy is essential to every aspect of our economic and social well-being. Today, the world faces two big
challenges: climate change and the security of energy supplies. Cities and regions have both a responsibility

renewable energy. At this Horizon Seminar, leading experts will describe their ground-breaking research in
energy use in built environments, clean and efficient urban transport and renewable energy generation in
cities. Please note that this event will be held at
Buckingham House, New Hall, Cambridge.

medicine will move into our cells, and technologies will assist us to live independently for longer. Will the

society and economies worldwide? Is the ‘demographic time bomb’ in fact an opportunity? Hear the opinion
