Signals: Headline Theme launch event

Tuesday 22 September, 12.30–3.30pm, University House

Join the Horizons Institute for the launch of our headline theme for 2026/27 Signals: Detecting, Predicting and Responding to Uncertainty.
We invite you to drop in and join us for this official launch of the theme, where you will:

• Find out more about upcoming opportunities, including development programmes and project funding.
• Learn more about our events and speaker activities held throughout the year.
• Have an opportunity to network with other interdisciplinary researchers from across the 映客直播.
• Listen to a panel of speakers discuss how they identify and work with signals in their research and explore commonalities that sit across disciplinary boundaries (1.30 – 2.30pm).

Tipping Points: Interdisciplinary approaches to climate breakdown

Tuesday 6 October, 10.30am–12pm, Online

Join Priestley Centre for Climate Futures and the Horizons Institute for a collaborative panel event exploring the area of climate tipping points. 

The panel will share their thoughts on key climate tipping points, and their wide-ranging impacts, and hear how interdisciplinary working at Leeds is shaping new approaches to modelling, prediction and prevention.

After the panel, you’ll have the opportunity to stay on to take part in a facilitated discussion to think through how your own disciplinary perspectives might help fill the gaps and bring value to this growing and fascinating area of climate studies.

Insight Series: Signals with Dr Josie South and Prof Yujiang Wang

Tuesday 13 October, 10–11am (GMT+1), Online

Join  and for an exploration of our headline theme Signals: detecting, predicting and responding to uncertainty.

Josie is an aquatic ecologist with a focus on understanding how intra-specific interactions and their strength changes across contexts and what this means for biodiversity. Josie applies various tools to determine the impact of stressors (mostly biological invasions) to predict future change, and how to slow negative impacts.

Yujiang’s research is in mathematical/computational modelling and advanced data analytics in neurological disorders (primarily epilepsy). Yujiang’s wider research interests currently also include neuroimaging and neuromorphology in health and disease.

Following Josie and Yijiang’s presentations, there will be an opportunity to ask them both questions.

You’re also invited to join us for Coffee Connect (11am–12pm GMT+1), an informal session allowing you to continue the conversation with other participants.
