About this event

*** Please note that this symposium is open only to people affiliated with one of the six EuroTech Universities and to invited guests. ***

On March 28, 2023, leaders, researchers and students of the six EuroTech Universities - DTU, EPFL, École Polytechnique, Technion, TU/e, and TUM - will convene at École Polytechnique to discuss their institutions’ initiatives and EuroTech’s common action plan to implement and accelerate the shift towards sustainability.

The agenda of the symposium will put the spotlight on EuroTech research groups and centres dedicated to sustainability, and on the initiatives and work of students, PhD candidates, and their associations, which are instrumental in driving the transition towards sustainability. Placing collaboration at the centre of the exchange, the symposium will enable the EuroTech Universities Alliance to define future joint research projects and a joint action plan towards sustainable development.

You can look forward to an engaging mix of keynote speeches, roundtable discussions, presentations, success stories, and a poster session around the following topics:

Getting a grasp on sustainability: defining our goals, our ambitions, and our limitations
Green campus: sharing our most promising actions
Cutting-edge research at the service of sustainability
Beyond awareness: engaging the community to strive for sustainability
Sustainable skills for sustainable development: training current and future engineers

The symposium will be followed by a cocktail reception.

Please find a full agenda here.
