STACEES was the St Andrews Network for Climate, Energy, Environment and Sustainability, a vibrant and diverse community of researchers based at the University of St Andrews. STACEES operated from April 2021 to 31 October 2024 and the events and networking opportunities offered over these 3.5 years resulted in enhanced collaboration on sustainability-related research within the University and across disciplines.
Despite the network no longer being active, the resources on this website may still be informative and useful. For example, we recommend taking some time to review the Sustainability Series, the image gallery, the travel blogs and recordings of past events.
