The event took place on Tuesday, 29th October, 2013. It was organised by the French Chamber with the support of the French Embassy and in partnership with the Franco-British Council and ESCP Business School, the first ever Franco-British Energy Conference, with 240 participants, provided a platform for debate and discussion on some of the most pressing issues in the energy sector.
Dr. Patrick Gougeon, Director of ESCP Business School's London campus, was invited to speak at the event. The Energy Management Centre (EMC) @ ESCP was represented by Executive Director Dr. Kostas Andriosopoulos, and affiliate professors Dr. Vlasios Voudouris and Prof. Michael Jefferson.
