Organized by the Lancaster University, United Kingdom and Sunway University, Malaysia, the SEAsia Springboard meeting aimed to develop collaborative long-term research proposals that would address the education component of UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The proposals should focus on raising awareness, exploring appropriate interventions and co-creating policies for the welfare development of communities, regions and countries involved.
