Sustainable Future Events
The educational seminars of the Sustainable Future aim to educate and inform the broad audience on the contemporary topics of Sustainability and ESG. These events offer youth the opportunity to be informed holistically on the developments in the ESG and Sustainability sectors by representatives of institutions, the market and academia. The seminars’ structure promotes an active dialogue between the experts and the audience, as strong emphasis is given on the Q&A Session of each panel.
The educational seminars of the Sustainable Future began in March of 2023 as a continuation of the Get Involved pledge to inform and educate on the issues of Sustainability and ESG. The team of Get Involved has been addressing Sustainability topics since 2020. These events examine these topics holistically and enable a two-way dialogue between the experts and the youth. Sustainable Future Events are structured to allow university students and graduates of different backgrounds to gain meaningful knowledge and understanding in the continuously improving sector of ESG and Sustainability.
