Join us at the SUNRISE international forum on the 23 October from 8:30-11am in F104 and on Zoom, the final and largest event of a series of interactive hybrid events designed to celebrate sustainability research.
We welcome those working on sustainability-focused projects and anyone else who is passionate about sustainability: faculty members, students of all levels, alumni, and individuals from diverse professional and educational backgrounds.
The work from these events is also showcased through the SUNRISE padlet.
The main focus of the event remains to be on enhancing research capacity. We will begin by celebrating the sustainability projects of BU PGR and USM, as they present their innovative work. In addition, attendees will participate in discussion panels, sharing what inspires them about sustainability, reflecting on their experiences, and exploring potential opportunities to connect and collaborate with fellow students and colleagues.
The session will culminate with the launch of the SUNRISE Sustainability Champion Award introduced by the BU Sustainability team to recognise and celebrate students’ contributions to sustainability within their BU experience.
Please complete this REGISTRATION FORM to reserve your place at the event.
Looking forward to seeing you in person or online at the SUNRISE on the 23rd October !
