Green

Jana's role at the Grantham Centre involves managing the Sustainability Leaders Training Programme for PhD students (Grantham Scholars), organising the Centre's events and various administrative duties. She is also the Co-Chair of the University of Sheffield Parents Network. 

Jana's background is in visual arts and film marketing - she holds a Master’s Degree in Arts Management. In the past she worked for a cinema, an ethnographic museum and a contemporary art gallery. She is passionate about climate change issues and she is eager to expand her knowledge about sustainability through her work at the Grantham Centre, helping create a better future for all of us.

Jana led a Green Impact project SHEFF-Yield in 2020 - 2022 that encouraged people in Sheffield to grow their own food. In March 2023, she got awarded the University of Sheffield’s Erasmus+ staff mobility funding and spent a week at CEMUS, Uppsala University, Sweden. During this experience she gained a valuable insight into how a different university sustainability centre operates. 

Jana was recently also a member of the Task & Finish group who researched and wrote a report to inform the new University of Sheffield sustainability strategy for 2026-2030 in the strategic area of Food. The report focuses on the procurement, sale and consumption of food across the University campus and student residences.
