The Burntwood Lecture provides an opportunity for an eminent speaker to talk on a current, critical and pressing environmental topic, and brings together leading authorities from scientific, political and industrial sectors. This year we are delighted to welcome Tony Juniper who will be speaking on Prospects for a Sustainable Society: What is the correct role for science?

Tony Juniper’s environmental work spans more than twenty years and ranges from public awareness activities to global campaigns for environmental protection. He is a naturalist, ornithologist, author, campaigner and journalist. From 2000-08 he was Director of Friends of the Earth and currently works in a variety of roles including Special Adviser to the Prince of Wales' Rainforest Project and Senior Associate for the Cambridge University Program for Industry.

A further highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the John Rose Award to honour and publicise a piece of outstanding postgraduate environmental science research.
