My ambition: drive review of school curricula, ensuring alignment with next generation needs, preparing them for challenges they inherit in the world they inhabit.
Bio
Aditee Mitra holds an Honorary Senior Research Fellowship in Cardiff University and is the founding Director of ARK Dynamics (UK-based micro-SME). Building on experiences in botany (BSc Hons), ecosystems analysis and governance (MSc), and marine ecosystem dynamics (PhD), her current research exploits system dynamics methodologies to investigate the complex adaptive systems of marine plankton ecology.
Aditee led the ground-breaking EU-funded MixITiN project, securing her position as a key driver of the ‘mixoplankton paradigm’ that has rewritten a century of marine science. This recognition is evident in the UN’s Plankton Manifesto and her invited plenary to the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026. Aditee is focusing on implementing these research findings into education, policy-setting and management arenas.
With a keen interest in the interface of science, governance and the public, Aditee has a passion to drive a review of school curricula, ensuring that these are relevant to the changing world we live in.
