Sustainability Spotlight Network+ Initiative (SSNI) During the Warwick Research Culture Day on 29 April 2024, the new interdisciplinary Spotlight Initiatives were launched to replace GRPs and to drive the university forward into a new REF landscape. One of them - a Sustainability Spotlight - was won by a collective of researchers, led by IGSD. SSNI is set to be a network-of-networks, focusing on research on sustainability. In addition to IGSD, it includes 4 other networks – the Environmental Humanities Network (led by Prof. Graeme Macdonald, Faculty of Arts), the Sustainable Society Network (led by Prof. Giuliana Battisti, WBS), WESIC (led by Prof. Gary Bending, Life Sciences) and WMG Materials & Innovation Network (led by Associate Prof. Stuart Coles) – and brings together over 2000 researchers! We aim for the network to be all-inclusive, and its objectives are:
We are planning an SSNI launch in early July, and would be very happy to welcome the School and our Thematic fellows there! Please follow us on https://warwick.ac.uk/research/spotlights/sustainability/. |
