The Science of Sleeping and Dreaming: A foggy field

Tuesday 14 June 2022
15:00-16:00 (EEST)

Speaker:
Dr Aristea Ladas
Assistant Professor, Psychology Department
CITY College, University of York Europe Campus

Overview:
Why do we sleep?
Why do we dream?
What are dreams?
Can they be controlled?

Questions that all of us have certainly asked ourselves during our lifetime. Questions that different science fields have tried to address. Questions that still remain largely unanswered.

Join neuroscientist Aristea Ladas for fascinating insights into the mystery of sleep and dreaming. Learn about brain activity during sleeping and dreaming, discover how this activity influences our life while awake, and have your say as we try to pin-point the differences between dreaming and awake states. Explore the phenomenon of dreaming from a psychoanalytic and from a cognitive-neuroscientific perspective, and find out how dreaming connects to consciousness.

Sustainable Fashion and Social Media Marketing

Tuesday 21 June 2022
15:00-16:00 (EEST)

Speaker:
Elina Ketikidi
Communication and Digital Manager at South East European Research Center (SEERC)
PhD Candidate at Sheffield University Management School

Overview:
The fashion industry is said to be the second biggest global polluter after the oil industry. For example, it takes almost 8,000 gallons of water - the amount that a single person drinks in seven years - to make one pair of jeans. When those jeans are discarded, they - and tons more textiles - end up in landfills.

Sustainable fashion brands want to reduce the impact on the environment - but how can these brands best reach their audiences?

Join digital marketing expert Elina Ketikidi to find out how social media can be used to educate consumers about the importance of sustainability in fashion and sustainable living more generally.
