International Sustainability Conference at Technical University of Delft

We are pleased to announce that Ecosphere Net will be presenting at the upcoming international sustainability conference at the Technical University of Delft, Holland. (Click here for the University website)

The conference takes place October 25^th through 29^th, 2010. (Click here for conference website) 

The conference theme is “Knowledge Collaboration & Learning for Sustainable Innovation” and will address four main questions:  

1. How can we bring about sustainable consumption and system innovations?
2. How can higher education facilitate sustainable innovation practices?
3. What can be done for sustainable innovation at a regional level?
4. What can the North learn from the South with regard to sustainable innovation?

The conference will have a direct video/audio link to a parallel conference being held simultaneously in Cape Town, South Africa.

Ecosphere Net will be presenting in the conference category “Sustainable Education and Education Programs” addressing the general conference question, “With what kind of courses and (applied and interdisciplinary) education programs do we prepare students to integrate sustainable solutions into their day-to-day practice? Do we need completely new Bachelor and Master Programs or can it be done with a transformation towards a more sustainable program?”

Specifically, our presentation will introduce the assessment instrument we are developing called the Global Sustainability Inventory (GSI). The aim of the GSI is to set goals for the individual and collective development of the attitudes and behaviours that are deemed most equitable with sustainable development and a sustainable global future. 

We look forward to being part of this exciting conference at TU Delft!
