ESE Program together with Earth Engineering Center co-hosted the conference Rethinking the Way We Manage, Repurpose Waste (https://www.waste360.com/recycling/rethinking-way-we-manage-repurpose-w…)
Human activity is increasingly perturbing our fragile environment by depleting our natural resources, destroying ecosystems and accelerating climate change. A sustainable planet requires engineers and scientists to understand the impact of their decisions on built and natural systems.
Marco J. Castaldi, ESE Director, Professor of Chemical Engineering has secured a $1 million grant from one of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy's (ARPA-E) newest programs, Waste in X (WiX) that works to advance the improvement of the physical or chemical properties of residues produced from the thermal conversion of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) into valuable products.
URGENT: https://ccny.dreamkeepers.org/
The Emergency Grant provides assistance to students at risk of dropping out of college due to unexpected financial emergencies. The Emergency Grant assistance was created to help students stay in college and meet their educational goals, ultimately, securing a better financial future.
Advising for the Summer &Fall 2020 starts in March. Check your e-mail for details.
