Cambridge Zero Research Symposia: Adaptation & Resilience

During this Michaelmas Term, Cambridge Zero is organising a second series of Virtual Research Symposia, to highlight all the exciting and ground-breaking research on climate change, net-zero and zero-carbon solutions happening across the University of Cambridge. The aim of these events is to help build and strengthen our internal Cambridge Zero research community, and to encourage new connections and collaborations. This term in particular, we also want to highlight important Cambridge research contributions in the run-up to the COP26 UN Climate Summit in November.

The Symposia will take place on Wednesday afternoons throughout the term, with each week focused on a different theme..

Keynote Speakers:

• Prof Shailaja Fennell, "Working with communities to understand and design place-specific principles of adaptation and resilience"
• Prof Richard Fenner, "The multiple benefits of climate adaptation (in the water sector)"
• Dr Kristen MacAskill, "Resilience Engineered: getting everyone on board with the key concepts"
• Prof Abir Al-Tabbaa, "Living Infrastructure"

Early Career Researcher Presentations:

• Dr Tim Summers, Title TBC
• Dr Sripriya Rengaraju, "Low carbon cements for sustainable infrastructure"
• Lucrezia Nava, "The grasshopper and the ant: explaining the variation in organisational adaptive responses to climate change"
• Gabriele Milone, "Self-sensing sleeves for infrastructure"
