Social value in energy – shaping research and teaching at Durham University

Social value is about more than financial outcomes—it is about understanding the real impact of decisions on people’s lives. It challenges organisations to look beyond profit, prioritising sustainable, positive change that benefits individuals, communities, and society as a whole. 

This workshop, hosted by Durham Energy Institute, offers you the opportunity to contribute directly to the Institute’s future research agenda and influence how social value is embedded into teaching across Durham University. Through engaging discussions and collaborative exercises, you will help define how the University can address social value in its energy-related research, policy influence, and educational programmes. 

Who should attend: 

This session is open to individuals with a personal, corporate, or professional interest in social value, including practitioners from business, academia, public policy, and the third sector. 

Event highlights: 

• Interactive discussions on the role of social value in energy transitions 

• Opportunities to shape research and teaching priorities at Durham University 

• Networking lunch with fellow attendees and afternoon event participants 

Join us to help place social value at the heart of energy research and education.
