We go and see how energy gets made.
The University of Galway Energy Society runs site visits, trips abroad and talks for anyone curious about power, from wind parks in Connemara to fusion in Provence.
The society
Lectures cover the thermodynamics. We take you to the turbines, the substations and the tokamaks where it happens.

What we do
Three ways in
01 · Site visits
Stand under the turbine
Day trips to working energy sites around the west of Ireland: wind parks, substations, interconnectors and power stations.
02 · Trips
Go where the frontier is
Bigger trips abroad to the projects shaping the next fifty years of energy, like ITER in the south of France.
03 · Talks & summit
Hear it from the people doing it
Guest speakers through the year and our Energy Summit on campus, open to every course, not only engineering.
Come on the next one.
Membership is open to every student at the University of Galway. Sign up and you'll hear about trips before the places go.
