PROGRAMME OF EVENTS

 

All participants - keynote speakers, panelists, presenters, and the audience have the opportunity to submit and deliver their papers on the sub-themes listed above. Why not showcase your views on sustainability before the world in this year's event?

The conference has five sessions with three keynote speakers delivering opening lecturers central to the theme. Next, each of the five sessions gets ten speakers or more to give their articles or papers.

There is a moderator who manages the speakers, presentations, and timing. Each particular session will last for two hours with a bit of break in between.

Keynote Speakers

Each keynote speaker has a total of 25 minutes to deliver their article, paper, or research. Their lecture or presentation takes the first 15 minutes, while they use the remaining ten (10) minutes for a brief Question and Answer session.

Presenters

The presenters get 12 minutes for their lectures - ten minutes for the presentation on their choice sub-theme and the remaining two minutes for a snappy Question and Answer session.

Medium for Attendance

This year's conference will be hybrid. The conference venue is the University of Birmingham while online participants - speakers, panelists, presenters, and the audience - will receive a link for the video conference via email or text message.
