Outreach
Staff at the Centre for Sustainable Energy Systems undertake outreach activities for the community, industry and government groups and schools.
Such outreach may take the form of presentations to government, public lectures, question & answers sessions, school visits, radio & TV programs, newspaper & magazine interviews, and tours through the solar facilities at the ANU.
The purpose of the outreach is to transfer some of the knowledge gained by the centre staff over many years of research and industry experience to people with an interest in solar technologies.
The list below outlines details of some of our outreach activities. |
