NUS Poster

Universities can play an important role in addressing sustainable development goals (SDGs) to achieve the world’s most urgent mission - Carbon Neutrality by 2050.

Join this two-day Symposium for robust discussions on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Sequestration, Sustainable Energy, and Sustainable City and Construction led by four top universities in the Asia-Pacific region - Zhejiang University (ZJU), the University of Sydney (USYD), National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM).

Building on the collective strength of academic champions and early and mid-career researchers, the Symposium will promote cross-institutional knowledge sharing and transfer at the intersection of post-pandemic Carbon Neutrality and develop collaborative initiatives that offer solutions for Affordable and Clean Energy, Sustainable Cities and Communities and Climate Action.
