Past Events

This event is a part of the University of Cambridge Science Festival 2018.

Save the date for the 2018 Global Food Security Symposium, March 21-22, 2018. 

Take a journey through your senses with scientists from across all the biological sciences and discover more about the sensorial side of their research.

The latest free exclusive member-only event will bring together some of the brightest PhD students looking for opportunities, with some of the leading businesses and organisations in the Agri-Tech East network wanting to host an intern or recruit from the science base.

Agri-Tech East is hosting a DEFRA workshop to provide an opportunity for everyone with an interest in agri-tech to help shape the future delivery of funding. The aim is to gather views from our ecosystem on the current delivery options for funding, the lessons learnt and the value achieved and to look at ways to improve in the future. The FREE workshop is open to all and will be held immediately before the Blockchain Pollinator event.

The British Antarctic Survey is hosting a workshop in Cambridge to bridge science, policy and business to explore solutions for reducing ocean plastic pollution.

Speakers:

Matt McLaren, Entomics (Accelerate Cambridge)

The University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute (UCCRI) Early Career Researcher Programme is open to all Cambridge PhD students and postdocs whose research is related to conservation and environmental issues, or who would like to meet researchers in this area. You can now sign up for specific events.

Defining the benefits we get from nature is not easy. Attempts to develop metrics to quantify the “sustainability” of agriculture, the “health” of soils and the “benefits” from certain insects, for example, remain a Holy Grail for research and industry, and often rely on anecdote and observation to demonstrate impact.

The workshop will address the needs of the arable, horticultural and livestock industries, as well as the food processing and manufacturing sector.
