About the ‘Sustainability in…’ talks

Sustainability is becoming an important subject in every field and profession. These talks aim to find speakers who can highlight their efforts in sustainability in their field and identify the challenges and opportunities in their disciplines to give the opportunity to open a discussion around sustainability in their field.

Speakers will either talk about their personal experiences in their work, give wider information about the field in general, or a combination of both.

The ‘Sustainability in…’ talks are supported by a Green Templeton College academic grant and organised by Green Templeton College students Constanze Cavalier and Lore Purroy Sanchez, who are the Environment Officers of the Graduate Common Room (GCR).
