Expectations & Support

The Energy & Sustainability Team accept requests from academic supervisors for research projects and placements that fall within the scope of the team and use existing quantitative or qualitative data, or access to existing contacts. As some projects are offered to multiple departments, the allocation of projects to students will be on a first come, first served basis. The feasibility of supporting work placements will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, following the review of the placement proposal.

For the full agreement and any further information around E&S approved projects and placements, please contactsustainability@warwick.ac.uk.
