Overview

Thank you to everyone who made the first student-organized MIT Sustainability Summit such a success!  We will be posting the pictures and video of the events in the next few weeks.  In the meantime, if you have any questions, comments, or feedback for next year, please contact the Summit's lead organizer Sayaka Hill.

The MIT Sustainability Summit, Discovering New Dimensions for Growth, brings together students, engineers, business leaders, academics, environmental activists, and public servants to discuss how we can most effectively support each other as we face the opportunities and challenges of transitioning to a sustainable world.

Through an engaging, innovative panel format, speakers will be challenged to think creatively about shared problems and generate tangible solutions.

Additionally, the afternoon will consist of capacity building break-out sessions that will likely focus on:

• Sustainable food systems
• Catalyzing Sustainable cities
• Sustainability in the built environment
• Cultural differences in sustainability awareness between  Europe and the US
• Introduction to life-cycle analysis & industrial ecology
• Sustainability at MIT
