HK Tech Forum
The future of energy transition, plus the challenges and opportunities in achieving renewable energy development and a sustainable environment, will be the principal area of discussion at the Forum on Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Environment (CNSE) organised by the Hong Kong Institute for Clean Energy (HKICE) at CityU. World-renowned scholars and researchers will cover silicon and solution processible organic/perovskite photovoltaics; advanced batteries and solar fuels; energy-saving device applications, including OLED, heat management, ultrafast, and low-power 5G communications; smart grids technologies; and the battle against human-induced climate change; among others. The featured speaker is Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs of Columbia University, the recipient of the 2022 Tang Prize in Sustainable Development for leading transdisciplinary sustainability science. The event will be held in hybrid mode from 5 to 8 October. For more information, please visit here.
