What does the future of global travel look like in an age of climate change?
How can a world-renowned institution like ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ maintain its global community and reach, and take responsibility for the impact of staff and student air travel on the environment?
³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ needs your voice! We welcome all staff and students to attend this interactive Ideathon, designed to foster solutions to minimise and manage our residual emissions from air travel. Attendees will hear from experts across ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ on key themes, then dive into facilitated workshops to discuss and propose practical solutions that work for our ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ community.
Joining the Ideathon is a chance for you to help shape ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s approach, future initiatives and contribute towards potential policies. The outcomes of the Ideathon will be used by the Sustainable ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ team to direct next steps and priorities to manage air travel emissions.
Lunch will be provided, along with snacks and refreshments throughout the afternoon. In-person event now at capacity; waitlist available for signup.Â
