About Energy Futures Lab

These issues are too big to be tackled by individual academics or teams, so the Institutes serve to harness and drive multidisciplinary approaches, bringing together experts with a wide range of specialisms. The Institutes enable and support crossfaculty collaboration, while engaging externally with policymakers, businesses, consumers and international partners to tackle these critical issues.

Founded in 2005, Energy Futures Lab is Imperial’s oldest Global Challenge Institute. The Institute was set up to address global energy challenges by identifying and leading new opportunities to serve industry, government and society at large through high quality research and advocacy for positive change. The institute aims to promote energy innovation and advance systemic solutions for a sustainable energy future by bringing together the science, engineering and policy expertise at Imperial and fostering collaboration with a wide variety of external partners.

Energy Futures Lab is led by two co-directors and its work is informed and supported by our Research Theme Champions and Leads alongside an Advisory Board, Strategy Board, and the institute’s staff.
