Exploring solutions to the environmental crisis with @SISeneviratne @AtwaterHarry @MichaelAklin @i_morral and so many more like @E4S_Center @ClimactSwiss @EnergyEpfl #EPFLsustainabilitysymposium @EPFL_en actu.epfl.ch/news/exploring… #epfl

@eSpace_EPFL @EnergyEpfl @E4S_Center @EssTechEPFL @ClimactSuisse @EPFLdurable @EPFL_en @kvagrawal And for the last presentation of the day, we have Prof Harry Atwater from @Caltech to discuss how science is meeting the major challenges of sustainability and the climate crisis. #EPFLsustainabilitysymposium @EPFLdurable

@eSpace_EPFL @EnergyEpfl @E4S_Center @EssTechEPFL @ClimactSuisse @EPFLdurable @EPFL_en @kvagrawal Now hearing from the 5 small & medium S4S-funded projects tackling issues on food generation/consumption (Prof Hughes, Dr Moreau), sterilization of life sciences lab facilities (Prof Furno, Dr Kramer) and electricity dispatch (Prof Moser) #EPFLsustainabilitysymposium @EPFLdurable

@eSpace_EPFL @EnergyEpfl @E4S_Center @EssTechEPFL @ClimactSuisse @EPFLdurable Now, two large projects funded by @EPFL_en Solutions4Sustainability initiative, led by Prof Kumar Agrawal @kvagrawal and Prof Mario Paolone, which use campus infrastructure as demonstrators for more energy-efficient CCUS and data centers. #EPFLsustainabilitysymposium @EPFLdurable

This afternoon, we listed to 6 centers active in the sustainability domain, from space @eSpace_EPFL, energy @EnergyEpfl, systematic change @E4S_Center, tech4development @EssTechEPFL, construction CWSC, and climate action @ClimactSuisse. #EPFLsustainabilitysymposium @EPFLdurable
