Sustainability Week

Imperial College London and the Imperial College Union have teamed up to host a week-long celebration of sustainability from 15-19 February.

Join us for five days of panel discussions, interactive online events and social media takeovers on everything from energy and waste to sustainable food and active travel. Find out how Imperial College researchers are helping to build a greener, more sustainable world and learn how you too can get involved!

The programme kicks off on Monday 15 when the Provost, Professor Ian Walmsley FRS, along with Professor Paul Lickiss, Academic Leader in Sustainability, and a panel of Imperial staff, will launch the College’s new Sustainability Strategy. You’re invited to join the discussion by submitting your questions and comments.
