They want to carry out a stunt every other day to grab attention for their cause, insiders say.

One student told an online meeting: “Buildings, classes and ceremonies would all look great.

“We know of a number of university lecturers and professors among our ranks and need their help to join in with us.”

In the past 12 months, Just Stop Oil has turned from blocking roads and disrupting trains to invading sporting and other events.

Now, it is switching its focus to further education, telling members: “Students and young people have been the driving force of change throughout history.”

Top targets are Imperial College London and London Metropolitan University, both accused of failing to stop investing in fossil fuels.

Lone protesters disrupted graduation ceremonies at Lancaster and Exeter universities last month.
