The Green Scene Webinar Series
Launching the first webinar series in the face of the new norm of working from home during the unprecedented and challenging pandemic period, we have introduced the Green Scene Webinar series to kickstart the format of bringing intellectual discourse to IMRE (and beyond) without travelling. In this series, we brought in both overseas and domestic prominent academics across a wide range of topics relating to green/clean energy, chemistry, technologies, etc. We hope that this series of inspiring lectures would set the scene and encourage further innovation and collaborations by local researchers in the area of green technologies for a more sustainable future.
