UCL President & Provost, Dr Michael Spence AC and Vice-President (Advancement), Angharad Milenkovic, are excited to return to New York City and connect with you.

Ahead of UCL's bicentennary in 2026, Dr Spence and Angharad look forward to sharing our plans and hearing your thoughts on how we can position ourselves to ensure UCL remains a world-leading university. 

We will be joined by guest speaker Eloise Scotford, Dean and Professor of Environmental Law at UCL Faculty of Laws, and co-Director of the UCL Centre for Law and Environment.

Climate governance: increasingly urgent and increasingly complex

Professor Scotford will give a short talk on the wide range of cross-disciplinary climate research at UCL then delve into her own research, exploring how we can tackle the pressing issues to protect our planet, including through air quality law and policy, and climate legislation.

You’ll also have plenty of time to chat with other alumni while enjoying drinks and appetizers in this lovely space reserved just for our event.

The reception starts at 6.30pm ET on Tuesday 17 September.
