Conference 2022: ‘The Collaborative Coast’: Invitation to lead sessions

This year our conference will focus on our ‘Collaborative Coast’. It takes place on 22 September 2022 at Wivenhoe House at the University of Essex.

It will be a chance for academics and regional stakeholders to come together to discuss key questions facing the coast, from addressing health inequalities to preparing for climate change, from harnessing renewable energy to supporting our creative community.

We are now inviting applications (using this form) from both stakeholders and academics to lead one of the conference’s eight parallel workshops. 

You can suggest questions that need to be answered or problems that need to be solved. You can offer case studies of projects that have worked – or, indeed, projects that haven’t worked – and what we can learn from them. They can be talks, panel sessions, interactive workshops or discussion groups: the choice is yours.

The deadline for submissions is 30 June 2022. We’ll let you know whether your idea has been chosen shortly after. We’ll then open up the conference for registration in August with details of the full programme.

For more information, or if you have any questions, contact us via this email.
