Voyages of Discovery speaker Vijay Vaitheeswaran
As a part of ECU’s 2022-2023 event schedule for Voyages of Discovery, the planning team has set aside time for students to meet with Vijay Vaitheeswaran, Gobal Energy and Climate Innovation Editor of The Economist, for an informal discussion. This meeting will occur from 3-4pm on Thursday, October 27 in the Main Campus Student Center, Room 249 (RSVP here by 10/24). There is also a lecture in the MCSC Ballrooms at 7pm, which faculty, staff and students may attend at no cost. To receive a free lecture ticket, ECU faculty, staff and students must go to the ECU Central Ticket Office, located in the Main Campus Student Center, and present a valid ECU 1 Card.
Vaitheeswaran is an award-winning writer and a leading authority on China, global health, international trade, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. He led the editorial team that launched the Global Business Review, a successful app that is the first bilingual product offered by The Economist in its 175-year history. As editor at The Economist, he covers the energy and utility industries, the clean energy transition, climate innovations and low carbon technologies. He delivers an incisive perspective on America’s climate and green infrastructure efforts and keeps a watchful eye on trends and corporate pledges of net-zero emissions, looking for signs of promise as well as greenwashing.
