About Introduction to Sustainable Research for Postgraduate Researchers

Three researchers at a desk examining a book together.

How can I make my research sustainable?

This workshop is for postgraduate researchers interested in embedding sustainability in their research practice. Together we will explore sustainable approaches to research and consider what we can do on an individual basis to ensure our research is sustainable.

Topics of discussion will include:

  • Data management and digital sustainability
  • Resources to support sustainable research
  • Library collections which can support research into sustainability and environmental change

Activities will include presentations, group discussions and a card game designed to help researchers apply what we cover to their own research.

Refreshments will be provided during the break. Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements (allergies or intolerances), but please be aware we cannot accommodate preferences.

If you have any questions about this event or would like to discuss accessibility or dietary requirements, please contact pgr@bl.uk.
