I-SEE Sustainable Energy & the Environment webinars

A series of public webinars with academic, industry, and policy experts on energy, sustainability, and the environment.

About the webinars

Hear what the experts have to say and join the conversation at our free environmental webinars.


Our popular webinars, chaired by Tim Mays, Professor of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University, cover the latest issues and areas of debate in the field of sustainable energy and the environment.

We invite experts from academia, industry and policy work to share their findings and lead vibrant discussions across a wide range of subject areas. These include:

  • natural sciences, engineering and technology
  • social, government, political and economic sciences
  • public and policy engagement
  • regulation
  • industrial, business, and international dimensions

Occasionally, webinars take the form of interviews with Professor Mays, like this interview with The Rt Hon. the Lord Deben about his role as Chair of the Climate Change Committee, and his career.

Whatever form they take, a compelling feature of I-SEE webinars is the opportunity for attendees to submit online questions to speakers.

All of our webinars are free and open to the public. They run every other Tuesday from 4.30pm to 5.30pm during Semester 1 (October to December) and Semester 2 (February to April).

Webinars are hosted online, using Zoom Webinars.

“I was delighted to be invited to speak about aviation decarbonisation at the I-SEE webinar. We had a good audience, and a wide variety of excellent questions were asked. The whole I-SEE team made me very welcome, and it was a pleasure to take part, thank you”.

Andrew Chadwick, Ecosystem Director Air Mobility & Airports, Connected Places, Catapult.

“It was a pleasure to work with the I-SEE team. Tim is an enthusiastic and engaged Chair and it is nice to have the opportunity to present a topic to a broad audience who might have different perspectives and challenge ones assumptions. As a speaker, it is also great that the organisers take the time to check that you have all the information you need and prepare well to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day.”

Dr Joanne Wade OBE, Chief Strategic Advisor, The Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE).

‘Being invited to talk as part of the I-SEE webinar series was an honour and a pleasure. The webinar itself was seamlessly organised and the communication with the team was superb. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, received some great questions and I have made some valuable contacts as a result.’

Professor Fiona Charnley, Professor of Circular Innovation and Co-Director Exeter Centre for the Circular Economy, University of Exeter
