SDGs Symposium 2025: Tackling Inequalities for Sustainability and Wellbeing

A symposium that will discuss how to address multifaceted challenges of inequality and promote science for sustainability will take place in person and online on February 8, 2025.

The 2025 SDGs Symposium will critically explore how to understand and tackle inequalities to achieve sustainability and wellbeing. The focal point of the 2025 SDGs Symposium will be research and practice at the interface of SDG5 (Gender equality), SDG10 (Reduced inequalities), and SDG17 (Partnerships for the goals) with all other SDGs. Central to the 2025 SDGs Symposium will be to discuss how the knowledge generated through cutting-edge research can be mobilized in inclusive practices and be implemented in policy and society, as well as how organizations can adopt research practices for inclusiveness to support and further promote science for sustainability.

To highlight these transdisciplinary connections, the University of Tokyo and Springer Nature are co-hosting the 2025 SDGs Symposium on 8 February 2025. This event is in close alignment both with the focus of Springer Nature and the vision of the UTokyo Compass strategy on diversity, equality, and enabling early career researchers seeking to conduct socially impactful and transformative research.

We wish to take this opportunity to invite renowned researchers from Japan and abroad, as well as students and young researchers, working at this interface of inequality and the SDGs. We wish to actively discuss how their research can explain these multifaceted phenomena and develop equitable solutions with high societal relevance and impact.
