How much work is involved?

Taking part is simply agreeing to think about how a portion of the existing work you do supervising final-year students could have a climate focus. There is nothing to register, no bureaucracy, no additional projects. We even hope to develop a list of ready-made project ideas for each discipline - potentially reducing your workload.

What if there’s no way to relate my subject to climate change?

You are our target audience! We are asking people who don’t normally work on climate-related topics to think about what they can do. Computer scientists, historians, psychologists and artists can develop code, dissertations, experiments or shows that address the climate crisis in some way. We are developing a list of project ideas you could use or get inspiration from. In the meantime drop us a line if you are still sceptical that this could work for your subject. contact@1in5project.info

Who runs 1 in 5?

See our about page. We are a group of volunteer academics at UK universities.

Can I ask a different question?

Please do. Send us an email at contact@1in5project.info. We will populate this list with the questions you ask us.
