If your registration is successful, you will be required<br \/>\nto attend the event on all 3 days.<\/p>\n<p>Plastic waste and microplastics are potentially the biggest global environmental challenge after climate change. (And the<br \/>\ntwo are not unlinked, with plastics in soil displacing carbon.) Beyond plastic waste, microplastics have infiltrated all parts of<br \/>\nthe food chain and are now being found in (nearly) all human organs. Their potential to act as vectors for disease<br \/>\ntransmission and the development of antimicrobial resistance is only now being recognised.<\/p>\n<p>This workshop will bring together all the multi-facetted threads of plastic waste and micro-plastic research conducted at<br \/>\nLancaster University in one workshop. International speakers will highlight global challenges and internal speakers will<br \/>\nhighlight the quality and quantity of research conducted at Lancaster. The workshop provides a platform for Lancaster<br \/>\nresearchers to connect with each other and to build further plastics activities.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the event provides a forum for our PhDs and early career researchers to present their research, providing for some<br \/>\ntheir first experience of the intellectual life, following two years of lockdown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday 12th July<\/strong><br \/>\nA presentation from keynote speaker Professor Meththika Vithanage followed by a \u2018Question Time\u2019 style Q&amp;A about the future of plastics with a<br \/>\npanel of experts. This session will be facilitated by materials scientist and story teller, Dr. Anna Ploszajski.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday 13th July<\/strong><br \/>\nA presentation from keynote speaker Professor Gay Hawkins. After this, the students will be invited to give group presentations about their<br \/>\nresearch. The presentations will be separated by questions and discussion. This session will be facilitated by Dr. Neil McLatchie. In the evening,<br \/>\nthe attendees will participate in a litter pick on Morecambe Bay followed by a dinner at the Midland Hotel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday 14th July<\/strong><br \/>\nA session focussed on creating a plastics community at LU and a discussion leading to a list of actions for the community.
