With the topic of ‘energy’ currently hitting headlines on a daily basis, the 10th edition of Oxford’s Energy Day couldn’t have been more timely. Emilie Vrain and Charlie Wilson from the iDODDLE team both attended Oxford’s official day of all things energy which focused on the role for energy in delivering net zero carbon emissions by mid-century. This event brought together the energy research community and provided a great audience for Charlie to present his research on ‘Digitalisation to enable changes in practice and energy reduction’ and Emilie to present her research poster summarising work on the role of social influence in the adoption of low carbon innovations.
