Industry Meets Academia Day 2025 (IMAD2025)


If you would like to participate in the lightning talk (5 mins) sessions, please let us know by 9th of May. For those who registered for a poster, please print your poster and bring it with you to the meeting. We will provide a space to hang your poster.

The event is organised by the ECR Network of the ZERO Institute, University of Oxford, aiming to foster connections between academic researchers and industry professionals, towards net-zero and decarbonisation. IMAD2025 seeks to bridge the gap between academia and industry by helping researchers better understand industrial priorities, while offering companies fresh perspectives on research-driven solutions to real-world challenges. Topics will include solar, nuclear, wind and hydropower, battery technologies, metal recycling, and relevant policy and regulation. The programme will feature a keynote speech, presentations by academic and industry fellows (Morning: 11:20–12:05 | Afternoon: 12:30–14:00), poster sessions over lunch, 5-minute lightning talks, and a panel Q&A to encourage dialogue and collaboration.
