EPSRC engineering net zero week

The showcase is an interactive event, with exhibition, panels, workshops and keynote sessions all taking place in person and all accessible to engage with through the virtual platform, as well as a truly flexible way to engage with a wide and diverse community.

The event is an opportunity to bring researchers, industry leaders and policy makers together to reflect on and raise awareness of the EPSRC investments made in this space; to continue the conversations that took place at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26); to highlight how our activities link to the sustainable development goals and to show our response to the outcomes of COP26 and how EPSRC-supported research and innovation can substantially contribute to net zero solutions.

Our team took multiple stands at this event to engage with the wider Circular Economy community. Members of our team participated in the following panel discussions:

• “How EPSRC-supported research and innovation can contribute to net zero solutions’” (Prof. Z. Fan)
• “Whole systems approaches to delivering a sustainable plastics future” (Prof. M. Miodownik)
