wholeSEM and the British Sociological Association Climate Change group are hosting a 2 day workshop about how everyday social practices can be re-configured to be less energy intensive. An intended output of the workshop is to produce an edited collection, published as part of the Sage Sociological Futures series, on 'Re-Configuring Everyday Practices for a Post Carbon World'.

UKERC is convening a residential conference that will bring together different perspectives on the energy system, and identify the key energy system challenges for the research community, government and other actors. The conference, which is supported by the RCUK Energy Programme, is an important opportunity to help inform future research priorities. We are delighted to be sponsoring this conference and Professor Neil Strachan will be chairing a session on engaging consumers.
