University (India), co-hosted the International Conference on Sustainable
Development held in Mumbai. The event attracted leading experts from nine
countries, including the USA, China, Iran, Vietnam, the Philippines, and
others. Organized in a Case Study format, the conference brought together
academics and practitioners to address the key challenges of sustainable
development. It provided a unique platform for exchanging experiences,
analyzing real-life cases, and exploring practical solutions in areas such as
education, economics, and ecology.
The main focus of the
conference was on integrating theoretical knowledge and practical approaches
through case methodology. This allowed participants not only to discuss
pressing issues but also to model potential solutions. Key topics addressed
during the conference included:
Innovative approaches
to reforming the education system to achieve Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs);
Environmental
sustainability programs aimed at combating climate change and preserving
natural resources;
Promoting sustainable
economic growth, considering regional and international integration aspects.
One of the
significant outcomes of the conference was the adoption of a resolution aimed
at actively incorporating sustainable development principles into educational
programs and research. Astana International University demonstrated its
commitment to the SDGs by initiating the development of new educational
strategies focused on fostering a sustainable university ecosystem.
The conference also
featured workshops and interactive sessions, which facilitated intercultural
and professional dialogue. Such events strengthen international collaboration
and help universities play a leading role in addressing global challenges.
