INTERACTIVE ROUNDTABLE: How can researchers, think-tanks and practitioners collaborate to advance energy policy in Australia?

Experts outside government have a critical role in making the case for policy reforms to improve energy efficiency. How can we combine the on-ground experience of energy efficiency practitioners, the policy nous of think-tanks and the expertise of researchers to increase our impact on policy-makers? This session will encourage participants to think about how they could collaborate together to deliver better outcomes.
