AIMday Climate & Environment
Welcome to AIMday Climate & Environment
The University of Edinburgh will host AIMday Climate & Environment as a hybrid event on 2 September 2025 (new event date) on its King’s Buildings Campus.
What is AIMday?
AIMday® (Academic Industry Meeting day) is based on workshops where challenges submitted by participating companies around a central theme are discussed with academics from relevant university disciplines.

How to participate
To participate in AIMday, you need to submit at least one challenge phrased as a question, which you wish to discuss in a small workshop setting.
Join us at AIMday Climate & Environment to access expertise across the University. Participating companies meet teams of researchers to explore and address the specific challenges each company faces. Each question submitted by a company is tackled by a multi-disciplinary group of academics with the aim of finding pathways to solutions. We are happy to help you come up with or phrase appropriate question(s), so please do not hesitate to get in touch with us at EPSRCIAA@ei.ed.ac.uk.
One question, one hour, a group of academic experts: that is the AIMday format!
After the event, our academics can apply for funding from an exclusive funding call, to work with an AIMday participant on their challenge.
Register your attendance at AIMday Climate & Environment by submitting your question(s) on the registration page for organisations by Friday 4 July 2025.
