Hutton Seminar series
Important information for event attendees and external visitors
In light of the ongoing government restrictions and advice to mitigate risk of COVID-19 transmission, our events have been rescheduled or moved to online delivery.
Our sites remain on a restricted access condition, and only staff who are doing essential site-specific work or tasks are on site. All other colleagues continue to work from home for the time being.
We have excellent and free to use video conference and conference call systems and are happy to make these facilities available to help you engage with us. Meetings are taking place via video conference with participants joining individually from their own locations; check with the relevant member of staff for advice.
As the situation continues to evolve, please check the UK Government and NHS websites for the latest advice and updates. If you have any questions or concerns, please email events@hutton.ac.uk.
The James Hutton Institute presents seminars addressing the core issues and challenges facing the way in which land and natural resources are used. The Hutton Seminar series aims to engage society in discussion and identify future needs or solutions, aligned to our scientific challenges:
- Scientific Challenge 1: Develop new crops and production methods that help deliver food security while better protecting the environment.
- Scientific Challenge 2: Protect and enhance the resilience of ecosystems for multiple benefits.
- Scientific Challenge 3: Deliver technical and social innovations that support sustainable and resilient communities.
