At the opening ceremony on Monday 14th, Professor Dr Prasart Suebka, SUT Rector, delivered a welcoming remark to the honorable guests and participants, calling for a joint effort among higher education institutions to create innovation with social responsibility for sustainable societies. Throughout the conference, various themes were addressed and revisited for new interpretations such as education for sustainable development goals, sustainable development through higher education leadership, research, and curriculum, UNESCO Global Action Programme: Agenda 2030, and internationalisation of higher education for local and global challenges.
