Chalmers kicks-off The Reflecting Engineer lunch lectures

CSS hosts again The Reflecting Engineer (TRE), a series of lectures where students have the opportunity to discuss and reflect upon questions related to technology, sustainability and ethics.

CSS is a non-profit organization under Chalmers Student Union with the purpose of promoting education, cooperation and action for a sustainable development.

TRE is a high profile event, successfully running for four years with universities from all over Sweden. The lectures are held in English on the Chalmers campus, including a 40 min presentation and 20 min discussion. Usually 100+ guests attend those events and CSS provides free lunch for the first 100.

TRE has the vision to give students the opportunity to reflect upon issues related to technology, sustainability and ethics. The event should broaden the knowledge of the next change agents by showing them successful examples of sustainability integration in businesses.
