Innovations for a Sustainable Future

January 24th, 2019

The Sustainability Research Symposium 2019 will focus on the most recent innovations and progress towards a sustainable future. We see sustainability as going beyond environmentalism to encompass  issues of human rights, equitable and inclusive growth, and secure and healthy communities. We seek innovation in all its forms - technological, but also social, pedagogical, and organizational. This student-led conference has served as an interdisciplinary platform for students and researchers to share ideas and research for the last eight years. Our 9th edition of this symposium will  highlight the work of researchers and innovators who are pushing the boundaries of biochemistry, urban architecture, and epidemiology, to respond to some of our planet's most pressing challenges.


Join us for keynote lectures, lightning talks and posters, as well as a wine-and-cheese reception. Register to attend, or to present.


Are you an undergraduate or graduate student doing a research project that is relevant to sustainability? We invite you to submit research abstracts to showcase your work at this symposium! Students across all disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply.


Registration is free, but spaces are limited.
Register by January 10th, and lunch is included.
