CCS - Climate Careers Dinner
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: 27th April
On the evening of Tuesday 2nd May, CCS will host a Climate Careers Dinner for the second year running! We are planning for it to take place from 6.30pm at a restaurant in central Cambridge. This will be fantastic chance to learn more about working in the climate sector, and find out about some of the wonderful companies and organisations that CCS is partnered with.
Our sponsors will attend, and students will have the opportunity to sit with them at the dinner. Please fill in your details and express a preference for the organisation you wish to be sat with.
These are the sponsors that will be in attendance:
Cambridge Zero - the University of Cambridge's climate initiative. A programme that harnesses the breadth of the university's research capabilities across the sciences, engineering, humanities and social sciences to respond to climate change and support the transition to a resilient and sustainable future. They focus on education, research, demonstration projects and knowledge exchange.
Ecosync - a company reducing energy wastage through innovative AI-powered technology. They use a dynamic energy management platform to adapt temperature control to changing occupancy levels in building rooms, so that energy is not expended on rooms that are empty.
Echion - a leading battery materials company providing advanced technology to help solve some of the world's biggest electrification and decarbonisation challenges. They specialise in the development and supply of anode materials based on mixed niobium oxide. It started in the University of Cambridge Engineering Department in 2017 and has since expanded.
Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (tbc) - a globally influential institute developing leadership and solutions for a sustainable economy. Their interdisciplinary research engagement builds the evidence base for practical action through focusing on six cross-cutting themes critical to the delivery of the SDGs: sustainable finance, economic innovation, inclusive development, natural capital, future cities and leadership.
Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits (tbc) - an organisation based at the University of Cambridge that is aiming to help stop deforestation of tropical rainforest. They are doing this through creating new digital tools to robustly assess nature-based carbon credit projects, and create a decentralised platform to help purchasers directly fund trusted deforestation avoidance projects.
PLEASE NOTE that all students will be expected to pay for their own meal. We aim to choose an inexpensive restaurant to make this accessible to as many students as possible.
