7th International Symposium for Sustainable Development

Q. Where do I get more information about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

Q. Should my presentation focus on SDG education for children?

Q. Can I submit an abstract that I have already presented in another conference?

No, you cannot submit the same exact abstract. But, you could submit a revised or updated abstract on the same project aligned to the SDGs. In other word, "no reuse, but recycling is okay"!

Q. Can I submit an abstract or narrative about future research or a project in progress without sufficient data?

Yes, you can! We understand that getting data during Covid19 is extremely challenging. You can include expected or anticipated results in your abstract.

Q. How am I going to give my presentation in the symposium if my abstract or narrative is accepted?

You will be asked to record PowerPoint slides or videos unless you are selected for live presentation.

Q. I am not in academia. Can I still participate in the symposium?

Absolutely! Your participation is very important since the symposium promotes Systems Thinking approaches to make a difference with multiple stakeholders including governments, NGOs, communities, professionals, citizen scientists, advocates, and industries.

Q. Does an abstract have to be scientific research?

Not at all! You are strongly encouraged to submit an abstract or narrative about SDGs education, community/organizational projects or business practices.

Q. I don’t have an SDGs related project yet. How can I participate in the symposium?

You can still participate! There are 169 targets within THE 17 GOALS | Sustainable Development (un.org). So, you can find a goal or target where you could make a difference.
You can also submit creative content including static (e.g. photo, drawing, and haiku/poem) and dynamic arts (e.g. video). Or you can simply enjoy watching creative contents and learning from presenters.

Q. Can I get a certificate of my participation?
