• Strive to influence and educate those students who might take positions of power in the future on the principals behind our energy future and, in doing so, allow them to make better and more informed decisions.
• Providing students with talks, debates and innovation sessions as platforms to develop understanding on the future of energy. These will be in association with DEI.
• Promoting DEI and its bursaries for energy related events, both regional and international.

• Provide a platform to pioneer change and fuel the future.
• Provide an exceptional quality of speakers to take part in debates revolving around some of the most important energy challenges of our generation.
