This Earth Day, join us to hear about latest research into the interactions between humans and the planet. 

Talks and hands-on stall will cover topics as diverse as earthquake-proof building to the transition to net zero. 

This event is organised jointly by Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics, Earth Sciences, Chemistry, Biology, Geography and Engineering.

Who is this event for?

The event is open to curious adults, teenagers and children (age 6+ years). All children must be accompanied by an adult. The talks are recommended for age 14+ years.

Event format 

We will have a selection of hands-on stalls for you to explore, and for those of you who want more detailed information about the work we do at Oxford, there will be a series of short talks and a panel discussion in our lecture theatre. 

When you register for the event, you can select one of the following options:

  • Session 1: Talk and stalls (recommended for adults and children age 14+ years) - 2.00-4.30pm
  • Session 2: Stalls only - drop-in between 3.00-4.30pm

Session 1 has been designed to give adults and teenagers more time to explore the topics through short talks and a panel discussion with our researchers. The theme for the talks this year is Our Power, Our Planet.
