One Planet Week
One Planet Week (OPW) runs every year during Week 6 of Spring Term to celebrate and share the University's sustainability knowledge and research to staff, students and the wider public. OPW aims to provide a platform from which to promote awareness, and share knowledge and actions on sustainability to staff, students and the wider community.
Our theme for 2023 was Land and Nature and our timetable of events for the week featured a range of events. We had talks, workshops, competitions and social events all related to our sustainability theme and open to staff students and the wider public.
