Services
These services are maintained by the EDC to support researchers and anyone interested in energy research in discovering and storing relevant resources.
Energy Data Centre
UKERC EDC Portal
The UKERC Energy Data Centre (EDC) Portal is a platform that provides access to UK energy research data and tools, supporting FAIR principles to make research outputs easier to find, use, and reuse.
UK Energy Research Centre
UKERC
The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) carries out world-class, interdisciplinary research into sustainable future energy systems. UKERC is an independent research centre, with researchers based in over 20 different institutions throughout the UK. Their whole systems research programme addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition to a net zero energy system and economy. UKERC also acts a focal point for UK energy research and a gateway between the UK and the international energy research communities, working to strengthen the UK’s presence as a major global player in energy research, and to provide a focal point for international collaboration.
UKERC Public Engagement Observatory
The Public Engagement Observatory of the UK Energy Research Centre maps the many different ways that people are engaging with energy, climate change and net zero on an ongoing basis.
It openly shares, experiments with, and undertakes these mappings with others to help make energy and climate-related decisions, innovations and participation more just, responsible and responsive to society.
Through its network, the Observatory makes connections and encourages learning across wider systems of public engagement in the UK and internationally.
