Hosted by a cross-border consortium of Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule (OTH) Amberg-Weiden, University of West Bohemia Pilsen, the Bavarian Center for Sustainability in Higher Education (BayZeN), and co-organized by the International Federation for the Economy for the Common Good (ECOnGOOD), the conference will offer space for inter-and transdisciplinary exchange, knowledge co-creation, and cooperation.
