The important congress about research and innovation for sustainable development has a new date, one year later.
The Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress 2021 (SRI2021) will take place from 12-15 June, 2021 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Center in Brisbane, Australia.
SRI2021 will build on the rich program of SRI2020, which, due to the global outbreak of COVID-19, was postponed to 2021.
SRI2021 will bring together an even larger and more dynamic group of global change-makers in sustainability.
SRI aims to:
- Foster productive and solutions-oriented dialogue between disciplines and sectors.
- Build a transdisciplinary science and innovation community, inclusive of all sectors and knowledge streams.
- Share the latest research and knowledge and provide a dynamic venue for training, mentoring, valorization, and synthesis.
- Foster green entrepreneurship and sustainable innovation.
- Develop evidence-based plans and strategies together to advance sustainability pathways.
- Provide an interactive space for sustainability funders to explore new partnership models.
- Increase use of sustainability research through effective public communication, including youth messaging.
- Legitimize sustainability as a career through the formation of a professional society.
