Announcing the 5th Annual MPE CDT Jamboree (2019), taking place on 18- 20 March 2019 at the Imperial College London.

The Jamboree provides an excellent forum for multidisciplinary interaction and engagement between industry and academia, as well as the opportunity to exchange ideas and approaches to tackling global challenges in oceans, weather and climate. It also aims to help identify strategies to create innovative adaptation, mitigation and resilience responses to climate change and, importantly, offers the MPE CDT students an opportunity to showcase their research and its impact.

The Jamboree represents the ethos of the MPE CDT by promoting multidisciplinary collaboration, innovation, knowledge sharing and by providing solutions to real-world problems. They will challenge our students to use their skills, knowledge and creativity to work together in collaborative and interdisciplinary teams to propose novel solutions to real world industrial problems.

The final day will bring together a number of eminent researchers, who will give presentations on their work. In addition, our MRes students will deliver blitz talks on the projects they will be working for the rest of this academic year and our PhD students will present posters on their current research work. We would especially like to thank our invited speakers for contributing to and taking part in this year’s MPE CDT Jamboree.

Dr Colin Cotter (Acting Co-Director of the MPE CDT) and Professors Jennifer Scott (Co-Director of the MPE CDT).
