In May 2014, the International Energy Research Centre held its third annual conference in Cork, Ireland.
This event brought together key global stakeholders involved in energy services for lively debate, discussion, networking and discovery. It was an occasion when ideas were shared about how to make society’s energy systems more efficient and effective and we looked at this from every angle – research, industry, policy and the eventual user, the consumer.
