NERPS 2025 (Network for Education and Research on Peace and Sustainability)

he 4th NERPS Conference (#NERPS2025) will be held from March 5–7, 2025 at the De La Salle University (DLSU) in Manila, Philippines. The 10th anniversary of the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is an opportunity to reflect on past achievements and future prospects for peace and sustainability. It has become clear since then that solutions to complex global challenges require cooperation among different stakeholders across national boundaries, different levels and from various sectors. Relatedly, transdisciplinary and future-oriented research approaches that employ participatory and collaborative methodologies are imperative for advancing evidence-based decision-making and policy-relevant research outcomes. The NERPS 2025 Conference offers a platform for students, researchers, and practitioners to exchange ideas, present their work, and forge partnerships for transdisciplinary research and collaborative action toward peaceful and sustainable futures. The conference will feature research presentations, expert roundtables, innovative workshops, and an optional excursion.
