CU Boulder Sustainability Research Summit

On October 8-9, 2026, the SRI will host the inaugural CU Boulder Sustainability Research Summit, a two-day event to highlight the diversity and depth of sustainability research across campus. Free and open to the public, the summit aims to foster connections among researchers and external partners as well as share CU Boulder research with the Front Range community and beyond.

The summit will create opportunities for students to see what researchers are working on and explore undergraduate research opportunities. CU researchers can identify potential interdisciplinary collaborations, while external partners can discover opportunities to work with CU on a variety of sustainability challenges. Investors can gain insight into what CU researchers are developing and what is in the pipeline, from discovery to implementation.

The full agenda is now available and features keynote addresses by Cassandra Brooks and Chris Winters, remarks from Chancellor Justin Schwartz, and more.

Registration for this free two‑day event is now open, welcoming community members and external partners to explore CU Boulder’s sustainability research landscape, share their work, connect with colleagues, and contribute to meaningful, forward‑looking collaborations.
