DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Energy Studies is supporting a student-driven i
 nitiative aimed at encouraging students to carry out research projects tha
 t will contribute to improving the sustainability performance of the unive
 rsity and/or colleges\, and to encourage their use as ‘living laboratori
 es’ for sustainability education. Many of you will have heard about this
  initiative from Emilia Melville\, a CUSU Ethical Affairs Officer and fina
 l year engineer\, and some of you may have attended the inaugural event at
  King's College in January. \n\nWe have agreed to host an event on the 12t
 h of March from 10.30-12:00 at Engineering\, Lecture Room 6. The objective
  of this event is to stimulate interest in sustainability-related student 
 research involving the university and/or colleges\, and to initiate some 
 ‘match making’ between the people that manage the infrastructure\, stu
 dents and academics. The proposed agenda is\, as follows:\n\n1.	Short pres
 entations by representatives from Estate Management and a few Colleges abo
 ut their sustainability challenges and opportunities\, e.g. reducing energ
 y consumption.\n\n2.	A number of academics to present brief overviews  of 
 their sustainability-related research and\, if appropriate\, to express th
 eir willingness to supervise or support student research.\n\n3.	Q&A and mi
 ngling so that students can meet the speakers and other academics  in atte
 ndance and informally discuss research project ideas.\n\nWe would be delig
 hted if you could attend and\, perhaps\, contribute a  brief  presentation
  under Agenda Item 2. You could cover an aspect of your current research a
 nd/or refer to an interesting project(s) by previous students under you su
 pervision. You are very welcome to attend\, even if you do not contribute 
 a presentation!\n\nPlease let Claire Murray (cm437@cam.ac.uk) know if you 
 are available to attend\, preferably before 6th March. \n\nIf you are unab
 le to attend\, you can also contribute by sending  an outline of a possibl
 e research topic to Emilia Melville (ejm58@cam.ac.uk). \n\nYour welcome to
  pass this invitation on to your colleagues and/or postgraduate students\,
  who might be interested in supporting or supervising research by (final y
 ear) students. In keeping with the interdisciplinary ambitions of this ini
 tiative\, we are eager to involve interested academics from as many releva
 nt disciplines as possible. \n\nEmilia has established a CamTools site for
  this initiative (https://camtools.cam.ac.uk/site.html?siteid=aa68025f-1e5
 d-43cf-b537-1cd49d1f34e0). For further information\, you are welcome to co
 ntact me or Emilia.\n
