Reflecting on past events:

This Green Careers Event is born from the Student Futures and Research Conferences, an online conference held over 5 days. 2021 brought together 360 students from across the world for a 17-hour experience, with 16 sessions, 22 speakers and over £1000 worth of prizes.

100% of attendees said they would recommend a friend or colleague to attend a future conference.

Feedback from an attendee: “What an amazing, inspiring and useful event this has been. Extremely good and diverse advice shared. It helped me gain a new perspective and open horizons. A great choice of speakers, with different ecological/career backgrounds was eye opening.
