Liveris Academy Distinguished Speaker Series

Hear from international leaders, CEOs and Pulitzer Prize winners during this exclusive, thought-provoking webinar series.

As the world begins to bounce back from COVID-19, international focus turns to how organisations and governments can balance the need for growth with long-term sustainability. The leaders featured in the 2021 Distinguished Speaker Series will share their views on how we can move towards a fairer, more sustainable world for all.

Introduced by the Academy’s Founding Donor Andrew N. Liveris AO, UQ’s talented Liveris Scholars will interview our esteemed speakers who will share their insights into creating a more sustainable future and what they consider to be the opportunities and priorities for global leadership in the 21st century.
