Join us for the launch of the UKRI and DEFRA funded COAST-R Network – an inclusive and collaborative community of practice working to build knowledge, action and resilience for UK coastal communities and seas.

We will be joined by guest speakers working to further the resilience of our coastal communities and seas, from across the UK. There will be opportunities to:

take part in panel discussions
learn about future funding opportunities
network with university, industry, government and community colleagues
and get involved in shaping future Coast-R Network activity.

Come and learn about the four projects funded by the Resilient Coastal Communities and Seas programme, their planned activities and opportunities to get involved:

Advancing Resilience and Innovation for a Sustainable Environment (ARISE)

Resilience of Anthropocene Coasts and Communities (RACC)

Transformative Research Actions for Resilient Coastal Communities (TRACC)

TRANSitions In Energy For Coastal Communities Over Time And Space (TRANSECTS).

Let us know your thoughts about what’s needed for our coastal communities and seas, and how we can build a more resilient future.

This event is free and includes a networking lunch and refreshments. Places are limited, so please book your place promptly.

Travel Bursaries

We have a limited number of travel bursaries available to support those for whom the costs of travel are a barrier to attendance. All applications for bursaries were considered by the conference organisers on the 1st October, and outcomes will be communicated as soon as possible thereafter. There are still a number of travel bursaries available to future applicants which will be allocated on a case by case basis.

If requesting a travel bursary, when making your booking, please provide details of why you wish to be part of discussions at the COAST-R kick off event (150 words max). In the event that travel bursaries are oversubscribed, we will use this to prioritise support to as diverse a group as possible.
