Plenaries, seminars, and panel discussions will explore ways in which professionals working in three sectors—research, industry, and the community—are creating scaleable innovations to address human and environmental well-being in SyracuseCoE's focus areas of clean and renewable energy, indoor environmental quality, and water resources.
