Be FutureMade in Energy and Renewables

We are a leader among UK universities in promoting energy activities through our Energy Academy, a virtual centre which connects all energy related research across the University. We also founded the Scottish Institute of Solar Energy Research (SISER), a pan University alliance of Solar Energy Research, which works in concert with Scottish research pools.

A new estimate says the world will need to spend $9.2 trillion every year on low carbon infrastructure, energy systems and land-use change creating 200 million new jobs including 8 million in the renewable energy sector.
