“Our university is strategically committed to the sustainable development agenda through the development of our student capabilities and awareness and via our research partnerships. We are also committed to playing a lead role in education and research across the Asia Pacific region. Therefore we believe that active participation in the proposed ProSPER.Net will help us develop our key strategic objectives for the benefit of all communities within which we operate.”

“Very useful meeting of minds from across many disciplines by leading SD Higher Education Institutions in the Asia Pacific. The timing is very good since the awareness of SD is becoming greater but not necessarily better understood in Asia. The discussion has avoided being just academic and instead has resulted in very operational suggestions to promote SD and ESD.”

- Dr. Dae Ryun CHANG 
Dean, Graduate School of International Studies
Yonsei University, Republic of Korea

“The meeting brought together an excellent group of Universities involved in SD education. Very engaged discussions with concrete outcomes. Participants are clearly enthusiastic about creating this network and each has important expertise to contribute.”

“ProSPER.Net could go a long way in crystallizing ideas for innovative methods to integrate issues related to SD into the curriculum of higher education programmes. The synergies that can be got out of the experiences and the expertise from the members of this network would contribute significantly to ESD.”
