Climate, Biodiversity and the Built Environment: Discovery Workshop

Bringing together researchers working on climate, biodiversity and the build environment, to seed multidisciplinary project ideas.

Join researchers from across the University for a discovery workshop exploring the intersections between climate, biodiversity, and the built environment. Hosted by the Sydney Environment Institute, Sydney School or Architecture, Design and Planning, and The Henry Halloran Urban and Regional Research Initiative, this workshop will provide a space to share emerging work, form new connections, and explore project ideas.

Whether your research addresses urban biodiversity and conservation, nature-based solutions, ecological or community resilience, or environmental planning policy, we welcome your insights and involvement.

Who should attend

This workshop is for University of Sydney academic staff and HDR students, with a particular aim to involve EMCRs in discussions and ongoing collaborations.
