YESI Events

Unique, Impactful, and Interdisciplinary: bring together researchers across disciplines and career stages to explore real-world environmental challenges, showcase impactful research, and provide training that builds interdisciplinary capacity.

We work with departments and faculties to co-develop events that raise the profile of York’s environmental sustainability research—locally, nationally, and globally. From workshops and networking sessions to webinars and showcases, we strengthen research communities and help turn ideas into action.
