The Northwestern Sustainability Lecture Series is a 1-day summit at Northwestern

University wherein world-renowned experts discuss: "Earth-Human Interactions:

Sustainability and Development." In this event, six Northwestern Sustainability

Lecturers are selected to talk about critical challenges and advances related to

energy, climate and the environment, and urban transformations, as well as to be

recognized for their prominent contributions in these fields. The summit addresses

the analysis of questions, problems, and solutions that result from human

interactions with the Earth both above and below the surface while aiming at

expanding the educational and cultural experience of a large audience. Conceptually

developed for the undergraduate and graduate students of Northwestern, this event

also targets its faculty members and aims at involving the industry, other stakeholders,

and the general public. The ultimate goal of this summit is to inform and inspire

present and future leaders while recognizing excellence across the fields of applied

sciences and engineering, physical sciences, social sciences, and architecture
