“The Transformation Underway in the Global Energy System”
Aurora’s 2017 Spring Forum was an exclusive, invitation only event convened in Oxford.
Our forum offered the opportunity to engage in debate and tackle the medium-term issues facing the energy industries, given both the climate change agenda and the very rapid technical progress reshaping our industry.
The day included a number of panel-led discussions and break-out sessions chaired by Aurora’s leadership team.
