The ASEAN Education Cities Conference 2023 focuses on Southeast Asian future cities. It is a platform for researchers and scholars from academia, industry, organisations, and other stakeholders, to share their ideas, best practices, or research findings on smart and sustainable cities, and to work together towards developing and exploring new ways of educating the next generations of planetary-health caretakers. The conference focuses on the way cities function as spaces for education, but also how educational institutions can support the sustainable development of cities and communities, through research, teaching, policy advising, and public engagement.
AECC 2023 is organised by the the Future Cities Research Institute; ElastiCities Research Cluster; the Sunway University Schools of Arts, Business, Hospitality, and Management Services; in collaboration with the Sunway Centre for Planetary Health, the “Campus with a Conscience” Committee, the Jeffrey Sachs Center for Sustainable Development, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and ASLI.
