FORUM ON ENERGY & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT



  CONCEPT AND PRINCIPAL PURPOSES

 

 


This activity is jointly organised by the BP Chair on Sustainable Development and the Club Español de la Energía. Its main purposes align with those of the BP Chair:

a) To be a centre for debate

b) To create knowledge

c) To spread and to create social awareness

The Forum is an annual or biennial meeting of a stable nature which is focused on current issues regarding energy and sustainable development. Every Forum counts on the participation of internationally known experts. The format of each meeting is different, in order to better adapt to its specific character and objectives. The approach of the topic is as multidisciplinary as possible, taking into account technical, legal, economic and social aspects.

On the basis of attendance by invitation, a limited number (25-30) of specialists, both national and international, meet to tackle a topic in depth. In principle, every year’s topic is different. The group of specialist is made up of a permanent core together with a group of experts that may change depending on the chosen topic.
