The inauguration, held on December 11-12, 2023, gathered thought leaders, UNESCO Chairs, institutional partners, and organisations from around the world. It provided a common platform to outline the network’s objectives, highlight focus areas, discuss upcoming events, strengthen collaborations, and build partnerships. It also fostered extensive deliberations on the development of a global curriculum for sustainable development.
The SustIN Network is a global platform connecting higher education institutions (HEIs) and organizations to share knowledge, tools, and best practices in sustainable innovation and community resilience.
