West Hub Research Cafe on Sustainability

This is an opportunity to meet your peers outside your immediate research group or discipline, to further understanding, collaboration, and engagement across the West Cambridge site in a relaxed environment. All locations and sectors are welcome!

The next Research Café is themed around Sustainability, and we are excited to announce that our keynote speaker will be Claire Barlow. Claire is a sustainability and materials engineer, currently serving as the President of the Cambridge Philosophical Society and has been a Senior Member at Newnham College since 1980. Claire's extensive experience includes roles as Course Director for the Manufacturing Engineering Tripos, Director of Undergraduate Education, Deputy Head of the Engineering Department with special responsibility for teaching, and Interim Head of the Department.

If wish to share your research, raise your profile and be part of this community, submit your abstract by September 2nd. All subjects/fields, backgrounds and sectors are welcome. Our Research Cafés are a great place to connect with different companies, universities and subjects.

As part of our sustainable credentials we encourage the use of public transport, cycling or arriving on foot. From the city centre the West Hub is a 33 minute walk via the Coton footpath, a 10 minute cycle or a short bus ride on bus routes 4,8,U,X3 or the Park and Ride.

For those who choose to cycle, there is cycle parking located on the South Plaza off JJ Thomson Avenue with showers and lockers available on the ground floor within the Canteen. Please be aware that for security reasons we open the lockers up each night so do take your items with you at the end of the day.
