Celebrating SEEG: a full day of interactive sessions intersecting Sustainability and Innovation chaired by Prof. Sally Randles with evening debate and wine reception ‘Sustainability and the City’. This is an open public event at Manchester Metropolitan. All welcome (please register)
In 2016, the University made the strategic decision to invest in a new Chair of Sustainability and Innovation within the Faculty of Business and Law. Professor Sally Randles was appointed to this post and was tasked with leading Sustainable and Ethical Enterprise Group (SEEG), giving impetus to a new phase of SEEG’s story and connecting SEEG to the new University strategy, which has Sustainability as one of its five cross-university pillars of strategic focus.
SEEG is co-convened by Sally Randles and Olga Kuznetsova. We are celebrating this new phase with a full day of key-note speakers, panel discussions, fast-moving show and tell ‘elevator pitches’, information display boards, and an open public evening panel and reception: ‘Sustainability and the City’. Through this event we will bring together our Manchester Met. sustainability research community and we invite our wider community of organisations and individuals, our existing collaborating partners, those interested to learn more, or simply the curious, to join us, on 25 October 2017.
Registration will start from 9am, followed by a number of talks and debates with a closing panel session at 5-6pm All delegates are invited to a wine reception 6-7pm.
