This year’s Assembly was on Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 June 2024 at the University of Exeter. Together in-person and online we explored the ways we can have impactful knowledge exchange across different sectors. We discussed how we might then influence policy.
Over the two days we delved into inclusivity, accessibility and the more-than-human in climate and environment experiences. One of the highlights of the two days was the Flex Fund showcase where all nine project leads talked about their work from fashion to water scarcity, energy poverty to urban bio-diversity renewal.
Collaboration was certainly one of the key mantras of the conference, articulated brilliantly by the Keynote speakers.
- Linda Bauld (Behaviour Research UK) Building Capability for Behavioural Research across topics and disciplines
- Angela Cassidy and Eleanor Hadley-Kershaw (University of Exeter) RENEW Collaboration in Practice: working across disciplines & beyond academia
- Heather Price (University of Stirling) and Gary Fuller (Imperial College London) Championing air pollution research. Clean Air Network.
We look forward to next year and to showcasing more cross sector partnerships and networks.
