EduSustain 2024: Global Conference Bridging Higher Education and Sustainable Future

Climate change, geopolitical factors, renewable energy, land use, and economic tendencies are presenting the sustainability issue with more and more focus. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development works as a global call urging to protect the planet and to make sure the welfare of all. This essential aspect of higher education institutions (HEIs) implies that sustainability should be embedded in HEIs' curricula, teaching methods as well as the overall conduct. United Nations believes this to be so and is thus dedicated to accomplishing this through Sustainable Development Goal 4, which makes the point that education is the key to instilling the sustainability mind-set.

In the recent past, it has been the digital innovation, the introduction of blended learning models, and the increase in global awareness as the main drivers of the quick integration of sustainability in academic curricula. In line of this, the SVKM's NMIMS University will be organising a Global Conference named ‘EduSustain2024’ from 27th - 28th September, 2024 on the theme of bridging higher education and sustainable future. This conference is the first Special Conference of the Indian Academy of Management (INDAM), the Indian affiliate of the Academy of Management. EduSustain 2024 is committed to upholding the symbiotic connections among the higher education sector, government agencies and the industry in order to advance the cause of sustainable development.

The conference aims to bring together and share best practices and findings from different disciplines on how to integrate the sustainability agenda into the fabric of HEIs. These areas are embodied in the curricular integration, research advancements, and the creation of sustainable thought leadership. EduSustain 2024 is the vital forum for discussions which will be creating the future of sustainability in higher education and, of course, the importance of HEIs in the vanguard of this movement towards a more sustainable global society.
