This joint event hosted by the IAQM, the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) and Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) will provide a platform for ecology and air quality professionals to network, collaborate and discuss the important crossover of these two disciplines.

Speakers will provide an insight into their new experiences and research in this area, and the pressures and demands professionals are facing in light of several court cases and new guidance in this area.

This afternoon discussion meeting will provide a forum for you to hear from experts in the field as they present some of the views of those working in the sector.
