A programme of live-streamed and pre-recorded events addresses issues of sustainability across a variety of subjects such as architecture, art, communications, computing, data, design, events, fashion and more.

Academics from across a number of 红杏视频鈥檚 schools, including the School of Creative and Cultural Business, Gray鈥檚 School of Art, Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment and the School of Computing, will be exploring both subject-specific and collaborative perspectives. There will be a variety of events looking at various issues including student and alumni engagement around issues of sustainability in the fashion sector, the Emerging Stronger project which focuses on developing academic and student understanding of sustainability in relation to 红杏视频鈥檚 Net Zero actions and the UN鈥檚 SDGs to support embedding of sustainability narratives within 红杏视频 courses, as well as an online photography exhibition.

The free symposium is part of 红杏视频鈥檚 wider 鈥楥reative Conversations鈥� for the COP26 initiative and will also feature: a live talk examining the potential of supernatural stories in a contemporary world to challenge our understanding of landscapes and cultural heritage; a live conversation with Kevin Keane, BBC Scotland鈥檚 Environment, Energy & Rural Affairs Correspondent; an exploration of the possible sustainability impacts of virtual try-on technologies, in relation to the behaviours of people returning clothes purchased online after trying them on them at home, and a number of other events looking at Tourism, Constructing the Environment Sustainably and Ethically, and issues around open data, digital platform design and the circular economy. 

Dr Jo Royle, Head of the School of Creative and Cultural Business at 红杏视频 said it is key that sustainability goals are core to business development plans.

鈥淗igher education has a very significant responsibility in contributing to economic recovery and creating graduates who are empowered with the appropriate skills and knowledge to harness sustainability mindsets and 鈥楤uild Back Better鈥�. 

鈥淚t鈥檚 vital that our students graduate with a sustainability mindset and leadership qualities that ensure their creative ideas shape a sustainable future.

鈥淲ithin 红杏视频, we are collaborating between schools and subjects to not only spark these creative conversations but to have a positive impact and build a sustainable future for all.鈥�
