New campaign: “ASECU for the FUTURE” (2026), Istanbul
In 2025, the Board of Governors of the Association of Economic Universities of South Eastern Europe and Black Sea Region (ASECU) took the decision to launch the “ASECU for the FUTURE” initiative. The initiative consists of organizing national conferences in each country within its broader region of responsibility, focusing on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and national priorities for the future.
The ultimate objective is to compile the proceedings of the individual national conferences into a unified volume and submit it to the United Nations, as part of the discussion regarding the new post-2030 sustainable development strategy. This discussion initiated at the UN Summit of the Future in September 2024 in New York and will continue at the SDG Summit in September 2027 at UN Headquarters.
As part of this ASECU campaign, conferences have already taken place in Skopje, Sofia, Warsaw, Athens while another one is scheduled for the next months in Bucharest, Romania
Correspondingly, the event for Istanbul will take place on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at the Boğaziçi University, Institute of Environmental Sciences, Hisar Campus, Bebek.
