Sustainability Seminar Series
About the Series
All seminars are held virtually and are certified green events by the University of Illinois' Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment.
Archives of the seminars will be available on this page within a few weeks of the seminar’s completion.
The Sustainability Seminar Series continues each semester, usually one or two per month, with presentations by researchers, policy makers, and corporate executives on various topics related to sustainability, energy, and the environment. This series is an opportunity to share scientific research with peers in a relaxed, informal environment. Seminars usually last about an hour and questions are welcome.
