COPERNICUS Alliance Conference

26th Sep – 29th Sep 2017 11:48

The Hamburg Sustainable Development Summit (HSDS) 2017, organized by the Center for a Sustainable University at the University of Hamburg, focuses on aspects of sustainable development at Higher Education Institutions. A special focus is given on the contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within education, research, governance, operation and outreach initiatives. The HSDS conference takes place for the first time offering a broad international network platform for sustainability initiatives and projects.

Key topics to be addressed:

• Sustainability at Higher Education Institutions (HEI): How is sustainability integrated into education, research, governance, operation and outreach? What good practice examples and cases can be identified for “whole institution approaches”? How can institutional sustainability strategies be developed and implemented?
• Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to global SDGs: What impact do SDGs generate on HEI and vice versa?

The call for contributions runs till March 17th. We are looking for interactive sessions, posters and paper submissions.
