McGill’s first annual Sustainability Research Symposium will take place on March 4th, 2011.
The research symposium will feature inspirational guest speakers, a poster session for graduate and undergraduate students to showcase current research or class projects, and a “world-cafe” discussion. The keynote speaker for this event is Jonathan Foley, current director of the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota, whose work focuses on the complex global environmental systems and their interactions with human societies.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS:
The field of sustainability crosses all departmental lines, and we welcome a diversity of approaches to sustainability. Graduate and undergraduate students in all faculties and departments are encouraged to participate in the poster session. If your work addresses any aspect of sustainability (environmental, economic, or social) on any scale, this is a wonderful opportunity to share your research with other members of the McGill community who share similar interests. There will be three $200 cash prizes for poster winners.
