British Science Week: Beyond boundaries: Interdisciplinary insights from environmental science

The Science Council is delighted to be welcoming Julie Hill MBE & Prof Gary Kass to speak about Beyond Boundaries: Interdisciplinary Insights from Environmental Science during British Science Week. 

Beyond Boundaries: Interdisciplinary Insights from Environmental Science

Environmental science brings together a multitude of traditional scientific disciplines, social science and emerging disciplines to understand the natural world and solve environmental challenges. At the core of environmental science are key concepts such as interdisciplinarity, systems thinking and delivery which provide lessons and frameworks for all scientists to think about how their science can be configured to solve grand challenges. 

Chair: Adam Donnan, CEO of the Institution of Environmental Sciences

Speaker: Julie Hill MBE, President of the Institution of Environmental Sciences and non-exec Board Member of England and Northern Ireland’s Office for Environmental Protection.

Speaker: Prof. Gary Kass, Visiting Professor at the Centre for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Surrey

About British Science Week

British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths that will place 7 - 16 March 2025! 

British Science Week provides a platform to stimulate and support teachers, STEM professionals, science communicators and the general public to produce and participate in STEM events and activities. It provides a chance to celebrate the diverse people and careers in science and engineering!

British Science Week 2025 is supported by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), which is the agency that brings together the seven Research Councils, Innovate UK and Research England. Funding from UKRI enables the BSA to deliver the core British Science Week activity; large grassroots campaign that aims to reach a diverse range of audiences, including those from disadvantaged communities and people who would not usually engage in science. #smashingstereotypes @ScienceWeekUK
