Here at MIT, sustainability can mean many things. New materials for everything from electronics to infrastructure which are both functional and kind to the environment. “Green” government and corporate policies which regulate energy and greenhouse gas production. Innovative urban planning for a city of the future which is efficient, but also accessible and abundant. Whether stated in economic, environmental, social, or technological terms, sustainability is the capacity to endure – to consume, grow, and thrive – but not to be consumed and perish in the process. Join us for this two-part webinar series which explores how MIT and its community of researchers and corporate members are leading the way in sustainability research. This webinar follows the Sustainability webinar on March 9.
The digital future is here, and the threat of disruption looms large. In a rapidly expanding digital marketplace, legacy companies without a clear digital transformation strategy risk being left behind. The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated the transition to a digital future. To succeed, companies must embark on the difficult path of digital transformation…and that doesn’t mean creating another app. But what does digital transformation mean for your company and your business? How can we stay on the top of these rapid changes? What challenges have many high-profile companies faced? How can you prepare to succeed in a changing digital climate?
This ILP member only webinar follows the Digital Transformation webinar on March 16. More information coming soon!
What will healthcare look like in the future? What are the technologies that will make the biggest impact in the next decades? In this webcast, you will be able to hear from six MIT academics who will speak to these question in the context of their research. Adding to the perspectives in healthcare, four startups will present lightning talks. Please join us and experience the perspectives arising from MIT and its community.
The pharmaceutical industry has experienced an extraordinary rise in the generation and use of enormous datasets. Nevertheless, there remain great challenges on this front regarding everything from target identification to understanding the performance of marketed products. In the context of this broad impact, we have assembled a group of leading researchers and executives from the MIT-connected community who will address questions of discovery, data integration, and system perturbation analysis, including use of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. What is the impact of current developments on high-throughput profiling, computational biology, and validation of gene targets? How do these developments impact the use of chemical libraries, drug-delivery systems, and patient-facing objectives? These are the types of questions that will be addressed in this exciting panel discussion.
Built Infrastructure is the foundation of economic and societal development. Economic recovery and future growth require sustainable infrastructure build up. Join MIT faculty speakers and startups to explore the challenges and opportunities on how we can advance humanity’s common progress by understanding, building and operating the infrastructure to support our growing society and achieve shared prosperity. This webinar will be followed by an ILP Members only webinar on April 1. More information coming soon!
Built Infrastructure is the foundation of economic and societal development. Economic recovery and future growth require sustainable infrastructure build up. Join MIT faculty and ILP member executives discussing the challenges and opportunities on how we can advance humanity’s common progress to support our growing society with shared prosperity while decarbonizing the built infrastructure.
Water is a vital resource – for society and also for many industrial processes. There are increasingly complex challenges in this sector: detecting and addressing contaminents, wastewater treatment, valuing and monetizing water and managing water-intensive operations to name a few.
Also, like much of our industrial infrastructure there is a pressing need to modernize, digitize and optimize equipment, plant and systems. Here we will present new MIT research, technologies and spinoff companies for sensing, treatment processes, remote monitoring and digitalization. We will be joined by industry leaders who will discuss and share their innovations and experiences with new technology – insights that are transferrable to other large industrial and infrastructure sectors.
