Summary

Oxford Climate Society are dedicated to fighting climate change, and contributing toward building a sustainable, healthy, prosperous planet long into the future. We do this by inspiring, educating, and connecting the climate leaders of the future.

Towards this end, we are excited to announce that we are launching our Interdisciplinary Research Showcase! If you’ve been involved with an environmental or climate related project, we’re looking for you to come and exhibit or give a presentation about it!

This event will connect students involved with environmental research, providing a platform to present projects, and inspire others about the rich potential of graduate, masters and summer research in the environmental sector. The showcase will be both interdepartmental and interdisciplinary and aims to celebrate the full gamut of environmental thought and research; from science to fine art, philosophy to economics, engineering to literature, and beyond.

We are aiming to grow exposure for all the faces of environmental research, to stimulate diverse discussion of research, to facilitate potential collaboration opportunities, and lower the silo walls between departments and knowledge-methods at the student level.

Format
The event will happen on Monday 4th Week (29th October) at 7pm.

The showcase will open with an expert keynote speaker.

Students will be selected (based on their application) to each give a spoken presentation for 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes for questions.

After the talks are concluded (around 8.30pm) we will host a drinks reception in our exhibition space.

​All students who apply are invited to present a poster/equivalent of their project in the exhibition space.

Attendance for those not presenting or exhibiting is open to the public, and entirely free.

Apply to present or exhibit
Applications are welcome from students at any stage at Oxford University (eg. undergraduate and postgraduate) and from any department and discipline, who have conducted a project in an environment-related topic.

Projects can be degree or non-degree related (eg Master projects, DPhil papers, summer research projects, internships), and need not have been completed or published to be considered; ongoing projects and open questions are just as welcome!

The deadline for registering a spoken presentation is Friday 2nd week (before the end of 19th October). The window to apply for a spoken presentation has now closed however you can still register to exhibit a poster!

We are still accepting registrations to exhibit a poster right up until the event date.

Applications are submitted using our online form, in which we ask that you provide a short abstract (<300 words) for your intended presentation.

If you are interested in taking part in the showcase, and have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us!

As with all our events, participation in the showcase is completely free.
