The US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently convened a committee of prominent environmental engineers, scientists, and policy experts to identify grand challenges and opportunities in environmental engineering for the next decades, which resulted into the publication “Environmental Engineering for the 21st Century: Addressing Grand Challenges” (2019). Inspired by this analysis, the Department of Environmental, Land and Infrastructure Engineering and the Education Board of Environmental and Land Engineering of Politecnico di Torino is launching a series of webinars on the five challenges identified by the National Academies plus two specific challenges related to energy transition and raw materials. Some of our faculty members will provide evidence of the contribution that engineering may give to a sustainable future and to present the education offer of Politecnico di Torino in these specific domains.
