From artificial intelligence to methane management, the EFL hosts workshops on topics impacting the future of sustainability in Alberta. These workshops are held in partnership with the Lab’s sponsors and convening partners. To learn more about upcoming workshops, please visit the EFL Events Calendar. If you are interested in receiving an invitation, please contact info@energyfutureslab.com.

By sharing new ideas, the Energy Futures Lab sees an opportunity to encourage cross-pollination across all stakeholders in the energy system. In the Big Ideas for Our Energy Future series, the EFL explores how we can create the energy system the future requires of us while fuelling economic recovery in Alberta. These one hour events are bi-weekly and open to the public. To sign up for one or more of these free events, please visit the series’ landing page. If you have any questions, please contact Emma Gammans at egammans@naturalstep.ca for more information.

Once you have learned about the work of the EFL, have a look at the Fellowship. The Lab invites leaders and innovators to work with current Fellows on the Innovation Pathways and EFL initiatives. If you are ready to help lead the movement for energy innovation and transition in Alberta, please consider joining the Fellowship.

Are you looking for a fun, intense, and thought-provoking activity to help your group better understand energy transition? The Newtonian Shift might be for you and your organization.  Experience decades of energy transition in just five to six hours. Choose a role you’re unfamiliar with – from a utility company’s CEO to a First Nations Chief, to an Asset Manager or even a NGO representative. Besides being an exhilarating learning experience, this game is the perfect team building activity!

The EFL Leadership Bootcamp is a great way to experience a sneak-a-peek of the EFL. This intensive three-day learning experience packages techniques from the Lab and empowers innovators and influencers to play a leading role in the emerging transition in the Albertan energy system. If you are looking for a futuristic, eye-opening training opportunity, check out the EFL Leadership Bootcamp.

The Energy Futures Roadshow harnesses the combined knowledge, skills and networks of the Energy Futures Lab and its Fellows and focuses them on the opportunities and challenges a community faces in light of energy transition. Each Roadshow is designed and delivered in collaboration with a host community and tailored to its interests and capacities. The engagement includes a series of workshops over a few days with a diversity of community members, businesses, governments, schools, economic and community developers and the public. In 2018, the EFL piloted the Energy Futures Roadshow in Crowsnest Pass and Hinton.
