IFERP Spearheads Global Sustainable Development Through Research & Innovation

The world is grappling with severe challenges like climate change, poverty, inequality, etc. As a long-term solution, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have emerged as a universal blueprint to create a more equitable and resilient planet. While diverse national and international organisations strive to fulfil these SDGs by 2030, one such institute in India stands at the forefront of this global effort.

The Institute for Educational Research and Publication (IFERP) is championing the power of scientific research and innovation to drive sustainable development.

Catalysing Research for a Sustainable Future

At the recently concluded Global Sustainable Development Congress in Thailand, the IFERP outlined an ambitious roadmap to harness scientific research and international collaboration to address the world's most pressing sustainability challenges. 

The International Convention continued for four days, from the 10th to the 13th of June, bringing together renowned thought leaders, policymakers, and industry experts worldwide under one roof. The Global Congress’ esteemed guest lists included personalities like Supamas Isarabhakdi, Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation for the Government of Thailand, and Nik Nazmi bin Nik Ahmad, Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability for the Government of Malaysia, as well.

Significant Discourses for a Sustainable Tomorrow

In this 4-days conference, the global leaders indulged in varied academic, scientific, and political discourses, further re-establishing the ways to achieve sustainability for a more secure future.

IFERP's initiatives span many areas crucial to the global sustainable development agenda. From promoting renewable energy solutions and sustainable agriculture practices to advancing research in clean water technologies and sustainable urban planning, the institute empowers researchers to tackle some of the world's most pressing environmental and societal challenges.

"At IFERP, our approach is rooted in the firm conviction that science and technology are indispensable drivers of sustainable development," remarked a senior representative. 

The institute builds a collaborative ecosystem that nurtures interdisciplinary research, promotes knowledge sharing, and facilitates industry-academia partnerships. Such an enabling environment accelerates the development and rapid deployment of technologies that can catalyse transformative change and drive tangible progress towards achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

IFERP's holistic approach encompasses various stages of the innovation cycle, bridging the gap between academia and industry to ensure promising sustainable technologies can transition from lab settings to real-world applications, ultimately benefiting communities and contributing to a more sustainable future for all.

Empowering Universities and Nurturing Talent

IFERP closely collaborates with universities and academic institutions worldwide. The institute provides a wide range of services. These include assistance with publishing research in top SCI and SCIE-indexed journals, organising conferences and workshops, running training programs, and offering research consultancy.

10 Years of Fostering a Global Scientific Network  

Over its decade-long journey, IFERP has established a robust network spanning Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, with over 320 collaborations and MOUs with prestigious universities and institutions. This vast global footprint allows for seamless knowledge sharing, joint research ventures, and cross-pollination of ideas across borders.

Championing Sustainable Development Through Targeted Research

Some of IFERP’s focus areas include:

1. Sustainable Energy: Making new technologies for renewable energy production, energy storage, and using energy efficiently - to move towards a future with low carbon emissions.
2. Sustainable Agriculture: Finding sustainable farming methods, ways to improve crops, and innovative solutions to overcome food shortages, poor nutrition, and agricultural sustainability issues.
3. Clean Water and Sanitation: Advancing research in water purification tech, wastewater treatment, and sustainable water management practices to ensure everyone can access clean water and sanitation.
4. Sustainable Cities and Communities: Doing research in sustainable urban planning, green building tech, and smart city solutions to create livable, resilient, and inclusive urban environments.
5. Climate Action: Researching climate change reduction and adaptation strategies, including carbon capture tech, and studying climate change impacts on ecosystems and communities.

Upcoming Events for Collaborative Innovation

IFERP's upcoming events foster interdisciplinary collaboration for sustainable solutions. The institute will soon arrange conferences with research publication opportunities on every sustainable development goal. Independent researchers and interested students can look forward to attending or participating in these scientific congregations.

By bringing together researchers, policymakers, and industries worldwide, IFERP speeds up developing and using sustainable solutions to make this world a better place to live.
