Abstract
In line with the UK government’s target on carbon reduction and global climate change, this workshop promises to be an inspiring and informative workshop, designed to raise awareness of digital solutions to promoting EV fleets and renewable energy sources in the pathways of road transport decarbonisation by bringing researchers, industry leaders, technology innovation people and local councils together. In this workshop, we share what we did, our findings from our EFORES research and will have a chance to listen to and ask questions of inspiring speakers, and engaged with a panel of engaging external experts. With networking and development sessions for further application of the information and machine learning technologies developed in academic to the EV industry, this promises to be a day with something for everyone.
Agenda
This workshop consists of three parts:
- Presentations by academics at Northumbria University and industrial partners to share the R&D experiences;
- Panel discussion to understand the user requirement on net zero transport energy systems;
- Networking and development session.
