‘The Sustainability Grand Tour’ is an online CPD seminar series organised by a number of Regions and Sectors within Engineers Ireland. The seminar series will explore the role of the engineers in developing more sustainable cities and communities, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and present case study examples of leading sustainability engineering projects.  Lectures predominantly run each Wednesday evening during January, February and March, speakers from all over Ireland and internationally, will present on their work followed by a Q&A session with the audience, instigating a deeper discussion into the various topics. The seminar series aims to demonstrate how engineers can integrate sustainability concepts into their projects at all stages from design to end-of-life.
