DLSU Research Congress 2021

De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines

July 7-9 2021

Theme: Revisiting and Transforming the SDGs during and after the COVID 19 Pandemic

 Registration

FREE registration is now open until June 30, 2021.  Register HERE.

In 2015, the United Nations identified 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a comprehensive action aimed to address poverty, guarantee peace and to safeguard the planet by 2030 (https://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/sustainable-development-goals.html).  Five years after  and ten years to fulfill the targets, now is an opportune time to assess how the goals are being implemented and achieved by the UN member states. Doing so becomes more significant when the tremendous and disproportionate social and economic impact of the COVID 19 virus this year and beyond is mentioned. As people are now given an opportunity to re imagine and to shape their life in a post pandemic world, it is relevant to look into how the SDGs could be used as a framework for the world’s continued progress.
