UCL-Energy's Mission

Faced with the challenge of energy equity, security and climate change, the UCL Energy Institute aims to accelerate the transition to a globally sustainable energy system through world-class energy research, education and policy support.

UCL-Energy's Values

UCL-Energy seeks to:

  • Promote excellence, rigour and impartiality in its activities
  • Address intellectually challenging problems with creativity and innovation
  • Make a difference in society through the results of its work and the way these are disseminated
  • Be diverse and open in its approach and composition

The UCL Energy Institute supports all four of the UCL Grand Challenges posing questions and searching for solutions in the areas of human wellbeing, intercultural interaction, sustainable cities and global health.
