Symposium on Sustainable Development Research at Universities in the United Kingdom

5th Apr – 6th Apr 2016 10:00 – 15:00

Many universities in the United Kingdom perform high quality research on matters related to sustainable development. Yet, there are relatively few events where a multidisciplinary overview of research efforts and projects has taken place, and where researchers from across the spectrum of the natural and social sciences have had the opportunity to come together to discuss research methods, the results of empirical research or exchange ideas about on-going and future research initiatives focusing on sustainable development.

It is against this background that the “Symposium on Sustainable Development Research at Universities in the United Kingdom” is being organised by Manchester Metropolitan University, in cooperation with a number of institutions of higher education active in this field, from across the country. It will involve researchers in the field of sustainable development in the widest sense, from business and economics, to arts and fashion, administration, environment, languages and media studies.

The Symposium will focus on Sustainable Development Research in the United Kingdom and will contribute to the further development of this fast-growing field.
