报告摘要：

“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” - UN Brundtland Commission, 1987.

The theme of “Sustainable Development” focuses the minds of many, including policy makers, economists, scientists and industrialists. Only through close corporation and clear understanding of all can we approach the goal cost-effectively, in terms of energy efficiency, demand reduction, low-pollutant emissions and resource security. Much of those efforts rely on creative innovations in (materials) science and effective transfer of key technologies in practice.

“How best to equip the new generation of students with the right knowledge, right skills and right mind-sets at the right time in the right place?” is the BIG question I’d like share and discuss here, in order to tackle the above challenges.
