Waste and Resource Management Conference

20th June 2017,
The Open University,
Milton Keynes

Overview

Waste and resource management often presents a significant environmental challenge and across the UK ground-breaking research is being undertaken to help find holistic solutions to some of these problems. The inaugural Waste and Resource Management Conference will bring together early career researchers involved in this field to disseminate their work in a friendly academic setting.

The conference will give researchers a valuable platform to share their work and network with fellow researchers helping to foster new collaborations and inspire new research themes. We will attract a wide audience of researchers, academics and industry professionals, helping to strengthen links between academia and the waste sector. The day will include oral and poster presentations on a wide range of topics related to waste and resource management.

Who should attend:

• Academic and industry researchers in the waste and resource management sector
• Waste and resource management students
