Welcome to the Governing Energy Transitions together (GET-together) seminars!

This series is hosted by the Energy Environment and Society research group and the Master in Energy Environment and Society at the Department of Media and Social Sciences at University of Stavanger.

Seminars run 16-17 CET (Norway time) most Thursdays, and are free to join via Zoom link. The format is a brief introduction of our invited speaker, a 20-25 minute talk based on a specific authored work, and live audience discussion. Seminars are recorded and made freely available online.
