Join us on Wednesday, 4 March 2026 for the return of the Grantham Institute’s Climate Research Showcase – a full-day event bringing together Imperial’s world-leading research and innovation community to exchange ideas, foster collaboration and accelerate action on climate.

Across an all-day exhibition, peer-led workshops and a flagship Special Lecture, the Climate Research Showcase is a space for dialogue and discovery. Participants from postgraduates to professors will have the opportunity to profile their work, engage with renowned experts and broaden their networks through activities designed to spark curiosity and collaboration. 

By strengthening connections across Imperial, the Showcase reflects the Grantham Institute’s commitment to advancing multidisciplinary climate research and driving impactful, science-based responses to the climate crisis as a leading hub for climate research and innovation. 

The Showcase will take place from 12:00 – 20:00 with programmed content throughout the day exclusively for Imperial’s internal climate research and innovation community.

The Special Lecture will take place from 17:30 – 20:00 and is available for members of the public to attend.
