ScotlandIS will be joined by Professor Sir Dieter Helm as a guest speaker at our next Policy Steering Group on 31st March, for a discussion around climate technology and meeting net zero ambitions.
While our Policy Steering Groups are strictly invite-only sessions, we are opening up this meeting to the wider public on a one-off basis, so that more of our members and industry contacts can benefit from the discussion and have the opportunity to hear from this guest speaker.
If you would like to join this special session, please get in touch with nicole.johnston@scotlandis.com to register. You will be sent a webinar link prior to the meeting on 31st March at 10am.
