Sustainability Connect brings together the community working to create a more sustainable MIT.

Join us for Sustainability Connect: MIT’s annual event for the MIT community focused on climate and sustainability!

Connect with colleagues across MIT (including staff, students and faculty) as we take stock of the Institute’s climate and sustainability work and explore ways to advance solutions together.

This interactive event offers a firsthand opportunity to hear updates on MIT’s sustainability initiatives, share ideas with peers, and learn about ways to contribute to ongoing projects.

Whether you are involved in operations, research, student programs, or campus initiatives, you will leave with new connections and actionable insights. Register by April 10th to attend.

Final agenda and speakers will be shared closer to the event.
