Renewable Energy Miracles at Glasgow Science Festival

Gaia and Her Renewable Energy Miracles: For All, Forever

Stephen Peake, Professor of Climate Change and Energy at The Open University, is presenting the event 'Gaia and Her Renewable Energy Miracles: For All, Forever' at Glasgow Science Festival 2023.

Gaia is a touring artwork. A giant globe measuring seven metres in diameter and created from detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface, the artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet, floating in three dimensions. 

Join The Open University for a talk around our planet's use of energy, gaining a sense of perspective from the Gaia art installation. Put on a pair of 'energy goggles', hitch a ride on a sunbeam, and take a once in a lifetime tour of Gaia’s energy system. We will look forward to how Scotland and Glasgow will help achieve our 100% renewable, peaceful, energy futures.

This talk takes place around the My Earth art exhibition at Mackintosh Queens Cross, usually entry to see this exhibition would cost £5, but would be free if attending this show. 

Book your place at this free event via the Glasgow Science Festival website. 

The OU is also hosting a range of free interactive drop-in events at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, as part of the Glasgow Science Festival on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 June 2023. 

We also have content in the Glasgow Science Festival's 'Science on the Sofa' programme, available online 1-30 June for you to browse at your leisure.
