CfS Research Day: Risk and Resilience

CfS Research Day on Risk and Resilience

The CfS Research Day on Risk and Resilience is intended to bring together people from across the university around Risk and Resilience research topics. The aim is not to just have “show and tell” talks about our individual research, but to include overviews accessible to non-experts in the respective sub-fields, plus discussions around themes of interest for potential joint projects and grant proposals. Some seed funding for research proposals will be available after the meeting.

Registration is now closed.

  • 12:00–12:10: Arrival.
