Collaborative Research in Action: Shaping a Positive Future

1–3 July | University of Exeter, Streatham Campus

The UQ-Exeter Institute invites you to its 2026 Symposium: three days of presentations, discussion, and new partnerships that will shape the direction of our joint research. Whether you are presenting your own work, exploring new cross-disciplinary collaborations, or seeking to understand where the Institute’s research agenda is heading, this event is designed for you. This year’s event has been carefully curated to focus on global research challenges through a mix of engaging presentations, insightful panel discussions, and hands-on interactive workshops. It is the perfect opportunity to connect with colleagues and help shape the future of our collaborative community. The UQ-Exeter Accelerator Grant Scheme will also be launched at the Symposium.

A week of research in Exeter

The symposium follows directly from the Exeter Climate Conference (29 June–1 July), which brings together international researchers, businesses, and policymakers to address the carbon cycle, climate extremes, energy transitions, and climate intervention. The two events share a venue on Streatham Campus and overlap on 1 July, creating a full week of research activity. Attendees with interests in Global Environmental Futures and related areas are particularly encouraged to consider attending both.

Further details and discounted booking for the Climate Conference are available at exeterclimateforum.com (use code ECFCOLAB).

Ahead of the UQ-Exeter Institute Symposium this summer, we are excited to announce the second instalment of the online UQ-Exeter Global Seminar Series:
