Cambridge Forum for Sustainability and the Environment

 

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the University of Cambridge signed an MoU in September to promote and further collaboration between the two institutions over the next three years.

The first pilot topic is ‘green economy and sustainability ‘ and following an initial discussion in August, a group from JRC will visit Cambridge on the 19th November to explore pilot projects related policy, food security and biodiversity conservation.
