SUSTAINABILITY AND BUILDINGS
Walking the tightrope to 2050
Join us in Loughborough for the second conference run
by the students of the London-Loughborough Centre for
Doctoral Research in Energy Demand. This year’s theme is
“Sustainability and Buildings – walking the tightrope to
2050”.
This invitation is for abstracts – leading to an oral or
poster presentation – about research which addresses
any of the conference themes.
Submissions should demonstrate the link between the
research and real-world impacts, for example, in terms of
how it could help meet European 2050 targets for a lowcarbon economy.
The conference is open to all current and recently
graduated UK and international research students, and
other researchers or stakeholders. It is intended as a
platform to network, share experiences and debate issues
of sustainability and buildings. Registration is free and
some assistance with travelling expenses will be available
(email [email protected] for details).
Keynote speaker will be Dr Kathryn Janda from the
Environmental Change Institute, Oxford University.
