Registration for the Winter 2025 Afternoon Lectures Series is now open, and continues until January 1st at 6 pm. The cost is $55 for an 8-lecture series.
This lecture series runs weekly from January 8 to February 26 and will focus on The Energy Spectrum: Sources, Impacts, and Innovations.
Energy is the driving force for so many aspects of our lives today, and we take it for granted until it's suddenly not available. As our dependence on technology grows -- think banking, health care, transportation, manufacturing, the list goes on and on -- the need for reliable, sustainable electrical energy grows too. And as people and goods are in constant motion, whether it's on local trips to the grocery store or flights to the other side of the planet, we use various sources of energy to fuel all this movement. Yet all of our energy use is impacting the planet in ways we may not always be able to see or understand. In this series we will look at what energy is, the different ways in which we access it, and what some of the challenges and possible solutions may be as we move forward. The final week will feature a three-person panel focusing on the Guelph community -- What innovations are happening here? What challenges still need to be tackled? What actions can individuals take to address these problems? Please join us for what is sure to be an 'enlightening' series.
