The aim of the event is to increase awareness of the breadth of research activity in environmental change research within Aberdeen, to encourage and facilitate collaboration and development of new research areas, to identify future funding opportunities and to increase research profile.

Environmental Change has been identified by Research Councils, the Scottish Government and other major research funders as an important area for future research. There is considerable environmental change research activity within Aberdeen, across a range of disciplines and research organisations.

The programme will involve:

• Invited lectures from Andrew Watkinson (Director Living With Environmental Change): LWEC and from Philip Wright (Deputy Director, Climate Change, Scottish Government
• Overarching presentations on environmental change research within the above ARC institutions
• Lunch merging into a poster session on specific research interests
• General discussion on the potential and mechanisms for increased collaboration, identification of new research areas and opportunities and mechanisms for increasing the profile of Aberdeen in environment and human health research.
