As industries work towards a more sustainable future, environmental engineers are playing a critical role in tackling complex challenges such as water scarcity, soil contamination, and air pollution.

In this masterclass, you'll discover how environmental engineering is helping create more resilient communities through innovative technologies, circular economy principles and sustainable engineering practices.

Explore real-world solutions transforming waste into valuable resources, learn how safety and risk engineering supports better environmental decision-making, and gain insights into the skills shaping the next generation of engineers.

What to expect

In this masterclass, you'll explore:

How environmental engineers are addressing today's most pressing sustainability challenges
The latest technologies for wastewater reclamation, soil remediation and air quality management
How circular economy principles are transforming waste into valuable resources
The role of safety and risk engineering in environmental decision-making
How RMIT's postgraduate Environmental Engineering can help develop the skills to create a more sustainable future

Join Professor Nevena Todorova and Professor Vikram Garaniya on Wednesday 7 October to explore how environmental engineering is shaping a more sustainable future.
