The Erasmus Energy Forum
Since its inception in 2012, the annual Erasmus Energy Forum event organised and hosted by the Erasmus Centre for Future Energy Business at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) has grown in size and influence. The first three annual events, in 2012 , 2013, and 2014 brought together representatives from a wide range of industries, academia and politics, in front of large and increasingly influential audiences. The Forum features world-class thinkers, academics and leaders from a wide range of business and industry sectors – including transport, power producers, equities and unions – as well as leading academics addressing major themes from the perspectives of all stakeholders in front of an international audience.
Previous Erasmus Energy Forum events have been recognised for successfully bridging business, science and policy, and offering a unique environment for exchanging information, as well as valuable networking opportunities.
