Connecting the classroom to the workplace

Nick Smith, a Lecturer in Spatial Planning at the University of Plymouth and a former LUC Planner, will host the discussion. Nick will interview geography professionals who currently work at the forefront of the UK’s energy sector.

Alongside Jessica, the panel includes experts specialising in carbon reporting and renewable energy planning.
