Imperial’s Climate Entrepreneurs Club and Undaunted are excited to announce a networking event designed specifically for students interested in climate entrepreneurship. Join us at Undaunted’s central London home at the Royal Institution for this fun, informal and insightful event – an excellent opportunity for uni students to connect with like-minded individuals, and explore opportunities for starting their own ventures in the field of climate change.
With the climate crisis at the forefront of global concerns, it is essential to empower students to become leaders in sustainability and innovation. The event will provide a platform for students to engage with leading experts, entrepreneurs, and investors in the field, gaining insights into the latest trends and opportunities.
Who should attend?
This networking event is a fantastic chance for university students (undergraduate, postgraduate taught and PhD) to develop new connections and enhance their knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of climate entrepreneurship. You don’t need to already have a climate innovation idea, or be part of a team – the point of the event is to provide an inspiring introductory session for students at any level of study who are keen to learn more and to make a real difference in the world.
