UVT

Cincinnati, OH | June 2025

Registration closes April 4, 2025

About the Workshop

Unraveling the Value Tensions in Sustainability (UVT) will guide and help you incorporate sustainability into your classroom through EM, so students can learn how to make decisions in the presence of conflicting values. Sustainability is a value, and there is, per se, not a single approach to enhance it, incorporate it and discuss it. EM is key to understanding sustainability from an open-ended, non-exclusive lens, comprehending the needs and demands from a diversity of stakeholders, recognizing the presence of value tensions between stakeholders, and making decisions to best address engineering challenges and innovate in sustainability.

  • When: June 9 - 12, 2025.
  • Where: Westin Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH.
  • Who Should Attend: Faculty who are somewhat familiar with EM and sustainability (i.e., sustainability will not be taught in depth).
  • Cost*: $3,500 per person.

*Registration cost includes workshop attendance, airfare, lodging, select meals, one year of coaching and consulting, and access to a library of workshop materials.
