Join us for a fall kick off of the Climate Solutions Research Collective!

After engaging across both campuses for twelve months, we have heard from participants that they value the opportunity to discuss big ideas with colleagues with different perspectives and would like to see these conversations continue to grow

Modelled after the Collective’s launch in September 2023, we will be gathering in-person on September 27 from 1:00 – 2:30 pm to discuss “Big Ideas” with respect to climate solutions research.  We have gathered colleagues from across campus to provide insights on their experiences with climate solutions research and their hopes for future collaboration.  This will set the stage for facilitated discussions where each table will discuss their “Big Ideas” and potential opportunities for future research.

Jemima Nomunume Baada, Assistant Professor
