To save a few air miles and prevent feelings of flight-shame related to COP28 being hosted in UAE this year, the University’s Sustainable Futures along with support from Tyndall Manchester, Henry Royce Institute and Creative Manchester is hosting an all-day event. The event will showcase the work of early career researchers that intersects with topics that will be inevitably discussed during the intergovernmental negotiations.

The aim is to foster debate, collaboration and interdisciplinary thinking to help develop new, or grow existing relationships across the University’s diverse group of early career researchers studying the many facets of sustainability. This is all in the spirit of helping to accelerate climate action. Three speakers per session will present their research followed by a Q&A panel.

Date and time: Tuesday 12 December, 8:30am – 5:30pm 

Location: Samuel Alexander Lecture Theatre and Foyer, The University of Manchester 

Key themes: circular economy, Global South, local transitions to net zero, external collaboration.

Who can attend?: Open to both an internal and external participants (including undergraduate students, postgraduates students, industry, professionals, third sector, academics of all stages).

Refreshments: A networking lunch, drinks reception as well as tea/coffee breaks will be provided throughout the day.
