RIISE Theme - Sustainability
As we make progress to achieve our development goals to cater to an increasing human population, there is increasing pressure on natural resources. Undeterred consumption of these resources has had adverse long-term, and often irreversible impact on the environment and the general well-being of all life. It is imperative to adopt and adhere to sustainable practices as we make technological progress. We are hosting a focused theme on Sustainability in the Research Innovation and Incubation Showcase (RIISE) at IIIT-Delhi. We have an excellent set of speakers who will talk about environmental challenges we face as a result of development.
