Nexus2020: FAQs
QUESTION SUBMISSION IS NOW CLOSED.
Nexus2020 is a project that brings together business, academics, policy makers and civil society to determine the most important questions that need to be answered around food, energy, water and the natural environment to inform business practice.
From March – July 2015 we asked people to submit questions. The next step will be in September 2015, when the Nexus2020 team will bring together 20 academics from a range of disciplines and 20 business leaders from numerous different sectors, to identify from all the submissions the top most important questions for research. The work will be published in an international research journal and will be presented at the Nexus Network annual conference in November 2015.
