Bring a field problem. Leave with people who can help solve it.
AXIS 2027 is built for engineers as much as researchers. Each track has an industry co-chair, field case studies are reviewed alongside research, and companies put real technical problems to research teams in the Challenge Exchange.
Engineers and specialists working on the energy transition.
Operators and developers
Engineers in offshore wind, hydrogen, carbon storage, oil and gas transition and decommissioning who want tested methods and new data.
Supply chain and consultancies
Engineering, inspection, materials and digital firms looking for research partners and the next generation of specialists.
Regulators and public bodies
Specialists who need to know where the evidence stands, and who want to put their questions to researchers directly.
Four reasons engineers attend.
Present a case study
A reviewed field report or lessons-learned story, with no full paper required. Confidential figures can be normalised. Template
Find research partners
Talks across seven tracks, with time set aside for follow-up meetings rather than only coffee breaks.
Meet graduate talent
The PGR showcase puts postgraduate researchers and their work in front of you in three-minute talks.
CPD certificate
A certificate of CPD hours for your professional development record after the conference.
Put a technical problem to the room.
Companies describe a problem they have not solved, and research teams who could help come forward.
- Write a challenge cardThe company, the problem, how far the technology has got, and what kind of help you want. We help you keep it free of confidential detail.
- Researchers register interestCards are shared with delegates before the conference.
- Five minutes, one slideEach company presents its problem in the Challenge Exchange session.
- Follow-up meetingsThe organisers schedule 20-minute meetings with the teams that responded.
To bring a challenge, email partners@axisconference.org with a few lines about the problem. Companies interested in partnering more widely can write to the same address.

- The Challenge Exchange, where companies put technical problems to research teams. I could bring [our problem].
- Meeting researchers and postgraduate students working on [topic], for collaboration and future hiring.
- A CPD-hours certificate for my professional development record.
Costs
- Registration: [fee from https://axisconference.org/registration]. The early-bird rate runs until 12 January 2027.
- Travel: [amount]
- Accommodation: [nights and rate]
- Total: [amount]
