Thursday 28th of November, 14:00-15:30, LGF Seminar Room, Sir Duncan Rice Library
This PGR CommuniTea session focuses on the climate crisis and the impact that PGR students can have on addressing it through their research, highlighting the importance of embedding sustainability into the academic curriculum. Elouise Mayall, PhD student in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Aberdeen, will share her thoughts on the matter and will be of inspiration to many through her experience being UoA's delegate at COP28 and COP16.
There will be plenty of opportunities for questions, discussions and networking as part of this session.
