Welcome to the Rustat Conferences website.
The Rustat Conferences are an initiative of Jesus College, Cambridge and provide an opportunity for decision-makers from the frontlines of politics, business, the media, and education to discuss the vital issues of the day with leading academic experts. The conferences also provide outreach to a wider professional, academic and student audience through the publication of reports in a variety of media.
In 2010-2011 the Rustat Conferences will address the following themes: Infrastructure & The Future of Society: Energy, Water, and Cities; Cyber-Security; Pressures on Philanthropy; Food Security. The 2009 Rustat Conferences discussed the Economic Crisis and The Future of Democracy.
The Rustat Conferences were founded in 2009 and are based at Jesus College, Cambridge. They are named after Tobias Rustat (d.1694), an important benefactor of Jesus College and the University. He is best remembered for creating the first fund for the purchase of books for the Cambridge University Library
