In celebration of 10 years of partnership between Tufts University and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), the Tufts Institute of the Environment (TIE) and SEI held an anniversary symposium to commemorate the dedicated cooperation between the two organizations. This event was held on April 11, 2017 from 1pm-6pm, and included researchers from both associations who fostered a lively discussion relating to the nexus of global issues of water, energy, food, health, and climate. Following two discussion panels and keynote presentations relating to this nexus, a poster session and reception where students and researchers shared their original research or collaborative scholarship concluded the event.
