EuroTech Universities: An alliance working for global sustainability
On 28 March 2023, leaders, researchers and students of the six EuroTech Universities will convene for a symposium 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 centers 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.
