Elouise Mayall, PhD student in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Aberdeen, will share her thoughts on the matter and will be of inspiration to many through her experience being UoA's delegate at COP28 and COP16.

The PGR CommuniTea series provides a platform for postgraduate researchers (PGRs) to engage in discussions dedicated to exploring key themes shaping the PGR experience whilst connecting and building the PGR community.
