🏫 CCS Academy
We are running the CCS Academy again this year! Sign-up using this google form by 31 Jan 2025
The CCS Academy will equip you with a deep systems understanding of sustainability, and with interdisciplinary skills to overcome wicked problems from all angles. We will run a series of 4 workshops led by experts and stakeholders within Cambridge - this year, we are making it more skills-based and hands-on! Last year, we had Climate Scientist Emily Shuckburgh lead a session!
You will be working closely in groups of like-minded peers, to solve a sustainability issue based in Cambridge, and have your proposal judged by a panel of expert judges at the end of term. Stand a chance to win a prize to bring your project to life, and an amazing opportunity to boost your CV.
