About

The 2-day Workshop will include lightning sessions highlighting cutting edge research in MES from multiple disciplinary and topical perspectives; two keynote speakers; a highly interactive set of working sessions to develop a policy-relevant research agenda relevant to MES; and a community meeting to help set the agenda for the community in the coming years. It will also include a reception and plenty of opportunities for networking.

A full agenda is found here.

The lightning talk sessions will be organized as follows. Nine speakers each give a 5-minute overview of the work. Immediately following this, the speakers go to posters around the room, allowing time for in-depth conversations on the research.

Macro-Energy Systems is an emergent field and research community that focuses on large-scale, systems-level, long-term aspects of energy systems and their implications for other systems, including the environment, economy, and human wellbeing. Sustainability, equity concerns, and computational advances have fueled a growing area of study with an increasingly rich set of tools and questions. Until now, this work has been scattered across many research communities. Macro-Energy Systems unites these efforts within a common field to foster better research, collaboration, education, and policy-making.
