Earth Day 2024
Communicating Climate Change Research
Announcement
Thanks to all the participants, speakers, and sponsors for making the Earth Day 2024 Event a success. We hope to see you next year!
The Department of Mathematical Sciences invites students, faculty, and the public to join us for the Earth Day 2024 Event. The theme for this year is “Communicating Climate Change Research”.
The event is a day-long celebration of the importance and challenges of communicating climate change research to the public. The event is open to researchers, students, and anyone who is interested in learning more about this pressing topic.
The event will take place on April 22, 2024, at Aalborg University, Denmark.
Event Program
The event features:
Climate change research presentations by invited speakers. You will get to hear about the latest findings and methods in this field, and how they can help us understand and address the complex issues of climate change. The talks are tailored for a general audience, so no previous experience on the topics is needed.
A climate-related hackathon to design the best way to communicate to the general public . The theme for this year means that the best solutions will come from cross-disciplinary collaboration between participants with different sets of skills. So, convince all your friends to join your team. You don’t need to be an expert to join, just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to learn and work with others!
- Free pizza 🍕 and drinks 🥤 for all hackathon participants.
A climate change-related meme-competition. Show off your sense of humour and your knowledge of climate change by creating and sharing memes that are funny, informative, and relevant. The best memes will be voted by the experts panel and displayed on the event’s website.
Complete program can be seen here.
