Visiting speakers

For more than a decade, CEPMLP has run a Wednesday visiting speaker series

On this page

Every Wednesday afternoon during the term time, we invite an expert from the industry, government, consultancy, law firms, or academia to discuss a topical issue relating to the energy and mining industry. During these sessions, students and staff are actively engaged in debates with the speaker on many issues that connect what is taught in the classroom what is being taught in the class room with real world problems.
