POSTPONED - Centre for Coastal Communities seminar – the ARISE Initiative

Professor Gina Reinhardt will present the new ARISE Initiative project.

ARISE is a ground-breaking research project, funded by UKRI, which seeks to develop resilience within the UK’s coastal seas and communities.

Over the course of five years, the project team will work with local stakeholders to design and test different ‘interventions’, or ways of tackling difficult and long-standing problems.

At the end of the project, we will have a powerful and practical toolkit which local councils and other organisations can use to address the challenges facing our coast.

Further details about the ARISE initiative can be found here: The ARISE Initiative - Eastern Arc

Following Gina's presentation and time for questions and discussion, there will be an informal celebration of the grant, with refreshments.
