Hosted by Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute, and first held in 2005, these annual conference/workshops have established themselves as a unique forum for climate scientists, artists and others to meet, discuss and engage with the challenging subject of our time, climate change.  Central to the discussion is an exploration of how the arts and cultural sector can work with the subject, and how the approaches of artists and others can help inspire the work of scientists.
 
The format of the event is extremely engaging and participative: we recognise that everyone present has a major contribution to make, so we keep ‘being talked at’ to a minimum. There is no PowerPoint.
