Visualisation Institute: Climate Project Share

As part of Climate Action Week, this event focuses on past, current and prospective projects by members of the University of Technology Sydney's Visualisation Institute that relate to climate change. At the start of the session, presenters will each have three-minutes to give an overview of a project. Following these presentations, there will be time for informal discussions about projects of interest and opportunities to view/interact with creative practice research. Please bring your own lunch – to minimise waste, this event will not be catered.
