Working with Medway's universities and colleges
For our Climate Change Action Plan, it's essential that we have fully costed projects ready for when funding opportunities arise.
We value the expertise that Medway's universities and colleges offer and intend to partner with them to research and achieve the targets set out in our action plan. We're keen to hear project ideas from Medway's universities and colleges and are open to discussing how Medway Council can take part in, or support, these projects.
We want to hear from you
If you have a climate change project proposal for Medway Council, or you need a council to partner to receive funding get in touch. To set up a meeting to discuss these opportunities email us at climatechange@medway.gov.uk.
If you have already undertaken ground-breaking research, we want to know so that we can showcase the knowledge that Medway has to offer during this climate emergency. Email us to let us know what research you’ve been working on at climatechange@medway.gov.uk.
