Join us on Wednesday for the SUNRISE event, the final and largest event of a series of interactive hybrid events designed to celebrate sustainability research.
The SUNRISE project is a collaborative initiative between BU and Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), funded by The British Council. The project aims to enhance UK-Malaysian Higher Education cooperation by fostering innovation, research collaboration and sustainable mobility.
The event will run from 8:30-11am on Wednesday 23rd October in F104 and on Zoom, with a light breakfast provided for those joining in person.
The main focus of the event is around 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.
We welcome those doing sustainability-focused research and anyone else who is passionate about sustainability: faculty members, students of all levels, alumni, and individuals from diverse professional and educational backgrounds.
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.
