Step into the future of climate action—where disciplines collide and change begins!
Be part of a bold, interdisciplinary gathering driving real climate action. On May 3-4 2025, the Crossing Boundaries Symposium will bring together 200 scientists, engineers, artists, students, and other knowledge-makers.
Through thought-provoking talks, collaborative workshops, and creative exchange, participants will break down disciplinary barriers and spark fresh ways of thinking, knowing, and acting on climate change. This is more than a symposium—it’s the start of a national network of diverse climate researchers and knowledge-makers, united by a shared commitment to transformative change.
Share perspectives. Explore connections. Build the future.
This is a paid event.
