 “I am blown away by the quality and dedication of these young people who travelled in some cases up to halfway around the world to be with us today here in England.” Philip Warren - Engineer “It was very inspiring to see how many young students from all around the world came up with visionary and potentially impactful research projects, from plastic waste collection in water bodies and bioplastic production, to promoting plant growth in extreme environments and making the fashion industry more sustainable. Congratulations to all of you and all the best for your future!!!.” Stefano Iannello - UCL
