The next generation of climate innovators
The next generation of climate innovators are just as likely to be female as male.
The students will benefit from real-world experiences in a number of industries, reflecting their own multi-disciplinary backgrounds.
They will be just as likely to have a degree in architecture as environmental science but will share an understanding of the challenges presented by
climate change and an eagerness to solve them.
