Innovating Across Systems: Gender-Responsive Education, Smart Technologies, and Sustainable Agri-Food Futures
March 26-27, 2026 | Isabela State University Main Campus, Echague, Isabela, Philippines
In pursuit of the global vision for sustainable development, research serves as a catalyst for innovation, evidence-based policymaking, gender equality, and digital transformation toward inclusive and resilient societies. The 1st International Conference on Sustainable Development in Education, Technology, Agriculture, and Gender and Development provides a premier platform for scholars, educators, practitioners, policymakers, industry leaders, and students to engage in meaningful dialogue, present impactful research, and build strategic partnerships that contribute to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Aligned with the Magna Carta for Women (Republic Act 9710)—a landmark Philippine law that affirms women’s rights as human rights and mandates the elimination of discrimination against women—the conference emphasizes the indispensable role of gender equality in sustainable and equitable development. RA 9710’s provisions on equal opportunities in education and employment, gender balance in leadership, protection from violence and discrimination, and support for marginalized and vulnerable women directly complement the vision of SDG 5. The conference serves as a venue to advance research and policies that promote women’s empowerment, safeguard women’s rights, and institutionalize gender-responsive development frameworks.
Recognizing that sustainable development transcends disciplinary boundaries, the conference underscores the value of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration across fields such as education, science, technology, engineering, agriculture, business, social sciences, and the arts. Anchored on gender mainstreaming, the conference highlights the integration of gender perspectives in education, agriculture, and technology. This approach promotes knowledge creation that is transformative, rights-based, inclusive, and responsive to the evolving needs of local and global communities.
Ultimately, the conference aspires to advance a future where sustainable development, gender equality, and technological progress move in harmony. By ensuring that women and girls—especially those from marginalized sectors—are empowered, protected, and given equitable opportunities to thrive, the conference contributes to building stronger institutions, resilient societies, and a more just and sustainable world.
At the end of the conference, the participants are expected to:
Present and disseminate research findings addressing issues related to sustainable development.
