Following last year’s inaugural MSt in Sustainability Leadership Networking Event, Robinson College is delighted to announce that on 21 May 2026 we will be hosting our first Sustainability Leadership Alumni Insight Sharing Day and Dinner.
This event is held in partnership with one of the UAE’s foremost sustainability leaders and Robinson College alumna, Her Highness Sheikha Shamma Bint Sultan Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan. Her Highness is the President and CEO of Frontier25, the Abu Dhabi-based independent non-profit organisation, a climate action advisory with the mission to advance the climate and sustainability solutions through collective work and innovation across sectors supporting their partners.
The event will feature a fireside conversation with Her Highness, focused on her decade-long journey in driving the transition to a green economy in the UAE and the wider region, the essential role of women in leadership and board positions, and the importance of taking an ecosystem approach to driving tangible and lasting impact.
Following this, participants are invited to speak in one of our two networking sessions: a ‘Lessons Learnt’ series of short presentations, and Breakout Roundtables on key themes identified by CISL. To feature in this section of the day, please click here to submit your interest no later than by the end of April.
The day will also be a chance to network with cohorts old and new to the course, and learn about Robinson’s sustainable ambitions as we approach our 50th Anniversary. The event will conclude with a three-course formal dinner in the Crausaz Wordsworth Building.
All Robinson alumni and current students on the MSt in Sustainability Leadership, as well as guests (including Fitzwilliam alumni), are welcome to attend.
