Depok, 22 June 2026 – UI GreenMetric participated in the International E-Lecturing Program hosted by the Entrepreneurship Study Program, Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Terbuka. Held in collaboration with the Korea Institute of Public Administration (KIPA), the virtual forum aimed to integrate sustainability education into global academic frameworks and explore the future of eco-driven business models.
Centering on the theme "Green Sociopreneurship and Sustainable Innovation: Empowering Future Entrepreneurs for Global Impact," the program gathered students, researchers, and practitioners to address pressing environmental challenges through interdisciplinary learning and green economy principles.
The event commenced with opening remarks from Dr. Abellia Anggi Wardani, S.Hum., M.A., Vice-Chairperson of UI GreenMetric. In her address, she emphasized the critical role of higher education in fostering a new generation of socially responsible innovators, highlighting how academic networks can serve as catalysts for practical sustainability solutions.
