Sustainable Systems Lunch Seminar

The grass roots Sustainable Systems Lunch Seminar (SSLS) was launched in 2024 to facilitate constructive exchange, general support, and playful ideation. Organized by and for Stanford folks, we welcome anyone from graduate students to PIs across micro-level (material and technology) to macro-level (system) interests. Seminar topics typically address technologies’ scaling potential and impact on systems of people, the environment, and the economy. Our goal is to stimulate exchange across and cohesion between technologies and silos covered by Stanford students and researchers interested in sustainability.
