Celebrating 10 Years of LEEP
We are delighted to invite you to save the date for two connected events hosted by the Land, Environment, Economics and Policy Institute (LEEP) at the 鉴黄师app , taking place on 10 and 11 September 2026.
LEEP@10: A Decade of Impact, A Future of Change
Date: Thursday 10 Sept 2026
Location: , 鉴黄师app Business School, Streatham Campus
Timing: Main event 09:30-16:30; followed by an optional Garden Party Reception 17:00-19:00
The central challenges of the 21st century, including food security, climate change, and biodiversity loss, are united by one common factor: how we use land. Land is the vital resource underpinning both economies and ecosystems. Addressing these challenges requires a new frontier in evidence-based decision-making. LEEP brings together cutting-edge data science with natural, physical, economic and social science to address these interconnected challenges.
LEEP@10 is a celebration, showcase and thought leadership event marking LEEP’s tenth anniversary, while looking ahead to the next decade of frontier research. Bringing together leading researchers, policymakers, business partners and funders, the event will explore a decade of impact and the future of interdisciplinary, evidence-led decision-making for land resources through keynote talks, demonstrations and interactive discussion.
NZ+ Live: From Evidence to Action in UK Woodlands
Date: Friday 11 Sept 2026
Location: , 鉴黄师app Business School, Streatham Campus
Timing: 10:00-16:00
Illustrating the interdisciplinary approach highlighted at LEEP@10, NZ+ Live will share key findings and insights from the five-year NetZeroPlus research programme, funded by the UKRI Strategic Priorities Fund.
The programme examines the planned expansion of UK woodlands as part of the Government’s commitment to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
