ECR Net Zero Conference

Runs from Wednesday, November 30 to Thursday, December 01.

This two-day conference, hosted by C-DICE, CO2RE, CREDS, ERA, EnergyREV, IDRIC, TFI Network+, UKCCSRC and UKERC, will bring together early career researchers (ECRs) from across the net zero community. It will include a mix of keynote speakers, parallel sessions (skills based and topic based) and a networking dinner.

The conference aims to provide an opportunity for key research organisations and ECRs to meet and network with peers from different research communities within the wider net zero research community, and build a collaborative community.

Taking place at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, there is also an option to attend virtually. The event will not be fully hybrid, however, and only sessions taking place in the main room will be streamed.

Over the past two years Belarusian society has demonstrated unprecedented levels of resilience. First, it survived and reorganised itself to respond to the brutality and unprecedented violence unleashed by Lukashenka’s regime on the peaceful protestors following the 2020 elections. Second, it has also evolved to explore various partisan and underground ways of resistance but also while acting from abroad. Some would argue that while on the surface, the regime may seem to have succeeded in thwarting the unrest, in reality, behavioural change is afoot. This has the consequence that, on the one hand, there is more pressure applied from the authorities to keep order and, on the other hand, civil society itself seeks to reshape itself to answer the existing and evolving challenges.

Is change really irreversible? What keeps civically active people determined and resilient? What forms does resilience take? What support to Belarusian civil society has already been provided and what else is needed to prevent resilience wearing off? How do Belarusian Democratic forces and civil society participate in needs’ assessment and programs of support? These and other questions will be discussed in a panel discussion organised by the Office of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and the Oxford Belarus Observatory.
