Professor Daniella Tilbury, Director of Sustainability has been invited by the UNESCO Chair ‘Higher Education for Sustainable Development’ to the 4th International Conference on Higher Education for Sustainable Development: “Higher Education for Sustainable Development: Moving the Agenda Forward”, where she will present the opening keynote “Higher Education for Sustainable Development: Indicators of Progress”. The conference takes place from 14 to 16 September 2011 in Lüneburg, Germany.
After broader approaches taken in previous Higher Education for Sustainable Development (HESD) conferences, the 4th Conference will focus on new developments in key topics and dynamic regions:
• Management Education for Sustainable Development
• Sustainable Consumption in Higher Education Institutions
• Higher Education for Sustainable Development in Central and Eastern Europe.
Based on thorough investigation of and reflection on current practice of HESD, the conference aims at initiating a dialogue on future perspectives and requirements in this educational area – until the end of the United Nations World Decade of “Education for Sustainable Development” and beyond.
This conference is hosted by the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, and is jointly organised with the German Commission for UNESCO, the International Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility of the Nottingham University Business School, the Copernicus Alliance and the working group “higher education“ of the UN Decade in Germany (AG Hochschule).
