Energy as a service to sustainable and inclusive development, avoiding unintended environmental and societal consequences.
Our Vision
We are here to serve our University, Glasgow, Scotland, the UK and the world.
We see energy as a service to human development, but we also firmly believe that the energy provision needs to be sustainable and accessible to all, avoiding unintended environmental and societal consequences.
We take a holistic, whole-system and life-cycle approach, tackling global sustainability challenges where the energy vector has a key role to play in supporting sustainable pathways to 2050 and beyond.
We work closely with local communities, local authorities, charities and NGOs, national and international professional organisations, governments and industry.
We act as a neutral platform for progressive dialogue among key stakeholders, facilitating advancements towards timely implementation of sustainable energy solutions at multiple scales.

Lessons learned from the Arctic to the Andes could help billions get online
Prof. Muhammad Imran, who leads UofG's Communications, Sensing & Imaging Hub, is first author of the paper. He said: “Although wireless communications have made huge inroads in societies around the globe in recent years, half the world’s population still remains offline. That means that billions of people are cut off from the opportunities for education, employment, healthcare & more that only access to high-quality communications can provide. Connecting the unconnected is vitally important."
