The Future Forward Summit aims to bring together people who are connected to higher education and making a positive change for sustainability (*). We believe that in a world in transition, everyone is a part of the change.

Expect a conference where you will explore the inspiration driving the game-changing pioneers and learn how others dealt with our common challenges. And finally, you will bring it all back to you own ideas and projects: futureproof your project design with the help of like-minded colleagues and the input of experts from unexpected backgrounds.

(*) A positive change in higher education is necessary as a response to global environmental crises and vast social inequalities. It is deemed highly imperative for the current and future wellbeing of humanity and the planetary state.

With approximately 180 participants over 4 days of interactive, creative workshops, diverse panel sessions, keynotes, brain-walks and field trips, the HSDS was an inspiring, energising and thought-provoking event, brilliantly organised by a helpful, professional team whom we heartily thank for their excellent work!

Event documentation and reports will soon be available on the five topic rooms: Education for Sustainable Development, Reporting and Governance, Steering our Cities towards Sustainability, Higher Education Institutions – Aims, Agendas, Actors, Methods and Perspectives. Please check the HSDS website for documentation.

A survey of 111 HSDS participants on Sustainability at Higher Education Institutions was conducted to get an impression of participants' visions of the future of sustainability at higher education institutions. Read the survey results here!

February's edition of the newsletter includes CA members' news, events and publications, plus a presentation of new CA member, the University of Gävle. The newsletter can be accessed here.
