The Lectures bring together expertise and energies from across Rice and Houston in new and innovative ways.
Each Lecture features the insights of an established entrepreneur or innovator on a question of interest to people working across a range of fields. The Lilie Lectures are free of charge, open to the public, and provide an opportunity for the exchange of questions and ideas between people who are innovating in many different contexts, and as such, often lead to new and shared insights.
