SEVIC 2024/25 Figures
SEVIC 2024/25 Keynote Speakers
The 2024/25 conference cycle took place during an extraordinary transition period. Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, significant leadership and organizational changes, and the ethical responsibility to prioritize the safety and mental well-being of Ukrainian scholars, the conference was intentionally scaled down. Moving forward, all conference activities will be consolidated and relaunched within the newly established Ukraine Matters Sustainability Hub, a permanent institutional framework designed to convene conferences, support scholars, foster international partnerships, and advance sustainable development in Ukraine and beyond.
