Established in 1989, SEI York has a diverse research agenda including air pollution, climate change, sustainable consumption and human health. Often using a range of participatory approaches such as citizen science, we help policymakers in the UK and around the world make informed decisions for a sustainable future.

The new five-year agreement builds on a fruitful historical collaboration, and promises significant advances towards a more just and equitable world that enables societies to flourish in a healthy environment.

The event

Partnership working is at the core of what SEI York does. This event, which consisted of a panel discussion and networking/poster reception, showcased our research and our strength in partnership building to deliver impactful results.

Through a series of four case studies, you will hear how our researchers navigated the challenges and opportunities of partnership working, avoided common pitfalls and maintained momentum to deliver outcomes.
