WASD 21st Sustainability International Conference
Keynote Speaker
H. E. Ambassador Dr. Hend Al Muftah
The Permanent Representative of Qatar to the United Nations Office at Geneva and other International Organizations, Switzerland
OVERVIEW
The conference aims to highlight the theoretical and practical aspects of the role of
human capital in the new digital era towards achieving the United Nations' 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). Human capital (knowledge, abilities and skills) is considered as a stimulus
to the innovation process for economic growth and development.
Similar to all previous Annual Conferences organised by WASD, this conference will
bring together academics, universities and research institutions from across the
world to collaborate and reconnect with the discourse of SD.
Participants
The conference brings together researchers, policy-makers, educators, consultants
and employers from around the world to exchange knowledge and experience and
discuss recent developments and current challenges in both theory and practice.
