This is a continuation of a dialogue which was started by EEFA's conference Japan – UK Next Generation Energy Symposium which APTN supported this March. EEFA is in the process of setting up an office in the UK, one of its goals being the creation of an eco-Park in the UK. This seminar will be a chance to discuss these plans and to explore the possibility for deeper UK-Japanese collaboration within the general area of Environmental and Alternative Energy technologies.
