About the Institute

Madhav Institute of Technology & Science (MITS), Gwalior was established in 1957 by His Highness Sir Jiwaji Rao Scindia, Maharaja, of the erstwhile state of Gwalior under an open-door policy of Govt. of India. The foundation stone of the institute was laid by the then President Dr. Rajendra Prasad, on 20th October 1956 and the building was inaugurated by President Dr. S. Radhakrishnan on 11th December 1964. On the occasion of Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the institute, the President of India, Dr. Pratibha Devi Singh Patil graced the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the institute as Chief Guest on 30th June 2008. A postal stamp on MITS was also released on this occasion.

About Conference

Since 1957, Madhav Institute of Technology & Science (M.I.T.S), Gwalior, India has spearheaded in education focusing on STEM by establishing 11 departments for undergraduate and graduate courses. M.I.T.S. Gwalior will host the "Sustainable Development Research in the Asia-Pacific", in partnership with the United Nation's Environment One Planet’s Sustainable Buildings and Construction (SBC) Programme, United Nations One Planet* Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) Programme and Manchester Metropolitan University HAW Hamburg. It has been designed to foster and facilitate the exchange of information, ideas and experiences acquired in the execution of projects with sustainability outcomes. The event will also provide a platform for networking, exchange of ideas and future partnerships. This Symposium at M.I.T.S, Gwalior, India is a follow-up of the inaugural Symposium held at RMIT University, Melbourne Australia in 2017 supported by the United Nations One Planet* SBC programme and the IUSDRP. 

The United Nation's One Planet Sustainable Buildings and Construction programme aims at providing knowledge of sustainable construction and sustainable building solutions to ensure that all stakeholders involved in the planning, commissioning, design, construction, use, management and decommissioning of buildings have a common understanding of sustainable buildings and the knowledge, resources, and incentives required to create, maintain and use them. The programme facilitates the sharing of good practices, launches implementation projects, creates cooperation networks, and commits actors around the world to sustainable construction.

The One Planet Network Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) programme is a voluntary global multi-stakeholder partnership in which various parties (governmental, non-governmental, public and private) agree to work together in a systematic way with the aim to promote and accelerate the implementation of sustainable public procurement globally as a way to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. Through SPP, governments can lead by example and deliver key policy objectives and send strong market signals. Sustainable procurement allows governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve resource efficiency and support recycling.  

While the focus is on India; experiences, case studies, and practices from India and other parts of the world relating to sustainability education, cities, buildings and circularity in the built environment are welcome. Selected papers will be published by Springer Nature or also a special edition issue of the Journal of Sustainability Research.
