Big goals deserve big attention. Especially when it comes to the future of the entire planet. That’s why the Association for Social Responsibility – the largest Sustainable Development Goals initiative from the UN and ESG in the Czech Republic – is organising the second edition of the Global Goals Summit in cooperation with DVTV.

Once again you will see top speakers who have something to say on the topic of sustainability. You will meet inspiring personalities from business, politics, non-profit and public sectors. You will learn about innovative approaches, examples of good practice and the experiences of those who are changing the world for the better and contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals.

To hear and be heard… You already know the first step, but the second step is still lacking? The stronger the voices of those who are serious about sustainability, the more likely they will be heard. Hear our voices. Together.

The Global Goals Summit will take place on 21 March 2024 at the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics at the Czech Technical University in Prague.

A place that brings together excellent research teams, young talent and unique know-how to push technological boundaries and build on the best traditions of Czech technical education.

A place where the voices of the young and promising are always heard.

A place where innovation is given space and visions become reality.
