UKMMN Sustainability Winter School

UKMMN Sustainability Winter School

This event is for anyone interested in developing the sustainability aspects of their research/approach, with a focus on metamaterials considerations and applications. This is also for non-metamaterial researchers interested in transitioning or collaborating more with metamaterial methods/researchers.

Sustainability is a broad and multidisciplinary challenge area. To evidence direct impact in sustainability (a regular request in many funding calls) fundamental and applied metamaterial research needs to be analysed through a sustainability lens. Their currently lacks specific metamaterial/sustainability training to develop understanding, approaches and analysis to plan and test metamaterials sustainability potential.

This summer schools topics will cover:

• Introductory sessions to both sustainability and metamaterial design
• Life Cycle Analysis workshop sessions to aid analysis of attendees designs
• Writing for sustainability (e.g. including relevant information in papers and bids)
• Renewable energy lab tours, amongst other activities still to be confirmed.

Please request/suggest what would you would find useful when registering and we will try to accommodate if possible.
