Sustainability Seed Grant Speaker Series
Join us for a new speaker series featuring some of the Stanford faculty who were recipients of the 2020 Accelerating Sustainability Research, Education, and Impact at Stanford and Beyond Seed Grants. These projects demonstrate the ambition of the Sustainability Initiative in education, research, and impact and are a vivid example of what Stanford seeks to achieve within the new school.
The talks are scheduled on Wednesdays, August 25 – September 22, 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. PDT and are open to the Stanford Community.
