Under the leadership of Conference Chairs Prof. Dr. Adel Ben Youssef (Université Côte d’Azur, France) and Prof. Dr. Max Bergman (University of Basel, Switzerland), the forum will continue its mission of connecting science, policy, and practice to address today’s most pressing sustainability challenges.
