On Thursday 26 June, the Sustainability and Resilience Institute (SRI) and the Institute for Life Sciences (IfLS) are co-hosting an event aiming to explore current gaps in research related to the effects of heat on health. The event promotes opportunities for collaboration between researchers and practitioners, and registration is now open for academics and researchers from across the university.

Researchers from medical, physiological, and climate risk modelling backgrounds will be joined by external stakeholders to explore current gaps in research. The event, held on Highfield campus, will begin with a round table of introductions and specific research interests, followed by presentations led by Dr Davide Filingeri (ThermosenseLab, University of BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载) and Dr Katie Jenkins (Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of East Anglia).

A Q&A and discussion on current approaches will give attendees the opportunity to identify key or cross-cutting themes, funding opportunities, and potential for data sharing across teams to ensure effective use of resources.

Leveraging the University’s close partnership with the Tyndall Centre for Climate Research, a mapping exercise will bring together research across University of BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 and its Tyndall Partners to generate and prioritise a set of questions and approaches to pressing issues and topics in heat and health research.

Date: Thursday 26 June

Time: 09:30-14:30

Location: Highfield Campus, Building 85, Room 2207
