Presented by the UBC Sustainability Scholars Program: A conference on urban sustainability research
What happens when you give bright and engaged students real-world sustainability problems to solve?
UBC Sustainability Scholars are helping to generate real change in the world. Join us on September 29 to learn more about what our local governments and institutions are doing to future-proof our people, our cities, and our urban spaces.
Join us for an afternoon of engaged discussions on a diverse range of applied sustainability projects produced by UBC graduate students in collaboration with partner organizations including the City of Vancouver, Metro Vancouver, BC Hydro, TransLink, local health authorities, local governments, and various NGOs.
Following the opening remarks, the Scholars will present their projects in concurrent themed panel sessions throughout the afternoon. Panels will be moderated by experts from UBC and Sustainability Scholars Program partners.
This event will be held online and is free to all. Registration closes September 28.
