Climate Change Network
The Climate Change network in the Humanities and Social Sciences is coordinated by Edinburgh Research and Innovation (ERI) as part of the research development and knowledge exchange service. The aim of the network is to encourage collaboration, interdisciplinary research and engagement with public policy and business. Many of our network members are also involved with the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation (see link at the end of the page).
For more information on the Climate Change network please contact Anne Sofie Laegran on a.s.laegran@ed.ac.uk
