Sustainability Showcase Recap

In late February, the Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems (BBISS) hosted the Sustainability Showcase in the Scholars Event Theater in Georgia Tech’s Price Gilbert Library. The two days of panel discussions, keynote speeches, and lightning talks were themed around community, ecosystem, and infrastructure resilience. Researchers, faculty, students, staff, and partners demonstrated how they are innovating and collaborating to build a more resilient future as the world rapidly changes.
