The School of Water, Energy and Environment (SWEE) is committed to fostering an engaging research culture to promote scholarly discussion. Academic and research teams are passionate about working collaboratively to share their expertise across the sectors spanning sustainability. Our networking series enables colleagues, students, alumni, and external guests to meet informally to discuss topical matters. The Research Leadership networking series hosts prominent keynote speakers from across the remit of the School whereas our Professorial networking series celebrates the achievements of our Professorial colleagues from across SWEE.
