The University of the West Indies (The UWI) will be co-hosting the Commonwealth Science Conference (CSC) (Caribbean edition) with The Royal Society from February 7-9, 2023.

The closed conference will be hosted at The Jamaica Pegasus under the theme of ‘Science for a resilient future’.

The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of some of the world’s most distinguished scientists drawn from all areas of science, engineering, and medicine. The Conference meetings are scheduled to take place over three days (February 7-9) and are divided into three streams, broadly defined as ecosystems, energy systems and societal systems.

Each stream will have a programme of live talks followed by discussion sessions with speakers. There will also be the opportunity for plenary talks, panel discussions, a poster session, and informal networking opportunities.

Conference attendees will hear from experts from around the world including UWI climate expert, Professor Michael Taylor, who will present in the first session addressing eco-systems. Following the Climate Resilient Caribbean Renewable Energy systems session, UWI’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles will be addressing the attendees on UWI’s leadership in finding solutions for developing countries.
