The International Greening Education Event (IGEE) is a premier global annual event which is being held since 2009. It brings together stakeholders from around the world in Karlsruhe, Germany to shape the future of education and discuss the challenging issue of integrating sustainability across all academic disciplines. It provides policy makers, senior faculty members, teachers, members of multilateral institutions and other stakeholders a unique opportunity to share and learn the latest in education, examine how to redesign curriculum and courses, reform teaching and learning, green academic facilities and create and deliver innovative education programs that meet the requirements of changing society as well as the natural environment.

The conference features best practices examples from around the world. A range of initiatives that have been taken in different countries are presented, fresh ideas are exchanged, failures analysed and successes celebrated. This global gathering of innovative and creative professionals is also about socializing with those who have shared interests. It is also about exploring possibilities of cooperation with institutions interested in re-shaping education and leading the transformation process. Moreover, the conference provides a distinctive opportunity to get to know practitioners having experience of embarking on the sustainability journey.

The next global gathering will take place from the 21st to 23rd of October 2015. It will be followed by an optional excursion on Saturday the 24th of October. The registrations are currently open. If you are interested in attending this event and benefiting from the collective knowledge, ideas, intelligence, expertise and enthusiasm of global delegates committed to make education more relevant to changing needs of the society and the natural environment, please visit their website.
