The joint Conference of the Energy Management Centre (EMC) at ESCP Business School and the Centre of International Business and Sustainability (CIBS) at London Metropolitan Business School (LMBS) took place on October 29th at the Energy Institute in London.
The meeting aimed to provide a forum for world-leading researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and to present novel research results on the theory and modern practice of oil and gas modelling.
During the conference CIBS and EMC also presented a joint research programme which aims to advance the thinking and modelling frameworks for evidence-based energy policy and investment decisions, with a particular focus on oil and gas trading and security.
