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.

Testimonials

See what some attendees have said about our webinars.


“I was pleased to be invited to present the February 2025 I-SEE webinar and appreciated the support from Tim, Carolina and Allan. They guided my choice of topic and were of great assistance in the webinar technology to allow for a smooth presentation of my perspectives on EV Infrastructure on the day”.

Chris Rimmer, Head of Department Policy, Strategy and Implementation, Cenex

“I thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to speak as part of the I-SEE webinar series. It was excellent to see so much active engagement from the attendees, and good to know that there is so much interest in the important topic of transport decarbonisation. I hope that I encouraged some colleagues to take the time to learn more about how to get involved with influencing the science priorities and evidence used by government advisers”.

Professor Sarah Sharples BSc (hons), MSc, PhD, PGCAP, CErgHF, FIET, Chief Scientific Advisor, Department for Transport

“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).

"It was a pleasure to deliver an I-SEE seminar and to share how the NCC is enabling industrial connected pathways to unlock UK’s net zero capabilities and deliver impact. The conversation with the participants was both engaging and enjoyable and the team brilliant to work with. I’d encourage others to take part”

Dr Jo Dally, Chief Business Officer, National Composites Centre Bristol.
