People: An international community for sustainability
ECGIC 2026 welcomed an international audience of researchers, practitioners, students, policy representatives and sustainability professionals. Across keynote sessions, coffee breaks and evening networking, participants exchanged experiences, challenged ideas and built new connections. The conference also provided many students with their first opportunity to experience an international scientific conference and engage directly with leading researchers and practitioners.
Perspectives: Science meets practice through dialogue
Scientific excellence and practical experience met throughout the conference. Keynote speeches, panel discussions and parallel sessions addressed topics including leadership, common good economics, sustainable food systems, regional transformation, consumer behavior, circular economy and responsible business. Rather than searching for simple answers, participants explored different perspectives, challenged assumptions and discussed future pathways for sustainability transformation.
Partnerships: From networking to future collaboration
Many of the most meaningful conversations happened outside the lecture rooms. Workshops, networking sessions and informal meetings created space for researchers, businesses, civil society organisations and students to develop new ideas together. ECGIC 2026 demonstrated that sustainable transformation depends not only on excellent research but also on long-term partnerships across disciplines, sectors and countries.
