The focus of this project is to develop and run a hack-lab that will address the question 'how can we make energy more equitable'? The objective of the event is to bring together policy makers, energy system engineers, software and hardware developers and those who are working to make energy infrastructures more democratic, open and fair.
The hack-lab will be designed in collaboration with Carbon Co-op as an innovative grass-roots response to current socio-technical transformations in energy infrastructures.
Our aim is for the event to be simultaneously a form of public engagement, an example of participatory action research and a means of achieving social impact for UCL research in anthropology and planning on energy and sustainable cities.
