ISCN 2016: Leadership for a Sustainable Future
University of Siena
Managing global change and preparing a sustainable future requires close collaboration between academia, the private sector, and public policy. Decisive leadership is required to tackle threats to our planet, and to societal well-being. How do we equip our organizations and future leaders for this task?
The 10th annual ISCN 2016 Conference hosted by the University of Siena was focused on leadership for a sustainable future and delved into discussions on:
- Managing a changing planet
- Managing societal change
- University-Private sector collaborations for a sustainable future
- Food sustainability at the micro and macro level
- Higher education’s contribution to actionable Sustainable Development Goals
Similar to previous years, ISCN 2016 included a half-day pre-conference and the main conference spanned 2.5 days including thought-provoking plenary sessions, hands-on working group sessions, and intimate parallel sessions. Following the main conference, ISCN members were invited to participate in a members’ only session.
