Taking ideas outside the laboratory.
Enleashed isn't intended to become a library of interesting ideas.
Candidate solutions need to survive contact with researchers, engineers, businesses, policymakers and the public.
Outreach is therefore part of the delivery process: explaining ideas, exposing them to criticism, finding collaborators, learning from other disciplines and building the coalitions required to test and implement change.
This page documents public conversations and engagements associated with Enleashed and its missions — podcasts, interviews, talks, panels, workshops, public lectures, industry and policy discussions, evidence submissions and media appearances, all using one shared format rather than a separate page style for each.
Understand → Design → Test → Explain → Convene → Influence → Deploy
Research develops candidate solutions. Evidence tests them. Outreach explains them, exposes them to criticism, finds collaborators and builds understanding — sitting primarily across Explain and Convene, while supporting Influence and Deployment. Delivery then turns sufficiently credible ideas into institutional, technical, regulatory or political change. In practice Enleashed moves backwards and forwards between these activities, not through them in a straight line — see how change happens.

A Fair, Flexible, Zero-Waste Digital Electricity Market
EnergyOS
This conversation explores the thinking behind a fundamentally different electricity-market architecture: one designed around digital infrastructure, distributed assets, network constraints and fairness, rather than continually adding new mechanisms around a legacy market. The discussion connects Shaun Sweeney's PhD research with the wider Enleashed mission to ask a more fundamental question: if we were designing an electricity market today using modern computing, communications and control technology, would we design anything resembling the market we currently have?
Entrepreneurship 101: From Industry to Research-Led Entrepreneurship
Universal Podcast Network
Why would someone leave industry and return to academia to solve a problem? This conversation explores the path from working inside the energy sector to stepping outside its existing assumptions, undertaking a PhD and eventually founding Enleashed as a research-led initiative. It considers the tension between entrepreneurship and academic research, the role of first-principles thinking in tackling systemic problems, and how research can be turned into candidate solutions capable of being tested and ultimately deployed. The second half of the conversation focuses on electricity-market reform: why electricity-market architecture matters to ordinary households, how fairness can become a formal engineering and market-design objective, and what a fundamentally different relationship between households and the electricity system could look like.
Ideas should not merely be promoted. They should be exposed to challenge.
Outreach is not about broadcasting certainty. It is another part of the experiment. If an idea is wrong, we want to find out. If it can be improved, we want people capable of improving it involved. And if it survives scrutiny, we want to find the people and institutions capable of helping test it in the real world.
Challenge the ideas
Found a flaw, disagreement or better approach? We want to hear it.
