The International Symposium on Resilient Planet (the Symposium) is a prominent component of the British Council’s ISPF activity ‘Research Collaboration and Mobility: Green Industrial Revolution Programme’. Spanning three days, this fully funded event offers a wide range of engaging activities.
- An academic symposium is organised, primarily targeted towards early career researchers in the field of natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. This symposium provides an opportunity for early career researchers to showcase their work, discuss emerging trends, and engage in productive dialogue with senior and leading researchers from the UK and China. It aims to foster a supportive environment that empowers young researchers and encourages their contributions to the field.
- A day of site visits is arranged for participants to explore universities and research centres. This enables them to gain insights into ongoing research projects, witness state-of-the-art facilities, and potentially discover areas for collaboration.
- A facilitated discussion is organised to scope the needs, priorities and recommendations for further research funding activities including sub-themes and target audience.
