NYU Sustainable Engineering Summit 2025

At NYU Tandon, we believe sustainability is not a spectator sport and are working
hard to advance engineering solutions for climate change and environmental
pollution. To celebrate these efforts, we invite you to join us in the Sustainable
Engineering Summit on December 5th, at 1:30 PM.

The event will feature a series of talks, panel discussions, poster demonstrations,
and a networking reception bringing together the sustainable engineering
community at NYU and beyond.
