About ICOSEG

Sustainable development requires the integration of economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection, yet faces persistent challenges such as inequality, unequal access to opportunities, environmental degradation, and rapid technological change.

Higher education institutions play a critical role in addressing these challenges by producing evidence-based research, supporting policy development, and strengthening international collaboration through credible global forums.

ICOSEG, organized by Research and Community Services Universitas Diponegoro and supported by the EQUITY Program (DAPT–LPDP), serves as an international platform to generate measurable academic outputs, enhance global research impact, and contribute to sustainable development policies at national and global levels.
