The 11^th Annual International Research Conference-Rule of Law in Context: Globalisation and Indian Resonances to Sustainable Development Goals (SYMROLIC 2023) has been scheduled for 28 and 29 April, 2023.

It is an interdisciplinary conference which emphasizes Law & Life Interface in the spheres of Innovation, Science, Technology, Management, Human Behavior, Global Policy, Governance and Climate Change. The conference over the years has provided a strong platform to discuss, collaborate and explore diverse issues in the field of research studies. It invites some of the great minds to share and discuss their ideas on contemporary research. The conference shall be held over the span of two days, which is specially designed to discuss and deliberate on various interdisciplinary areas and core issues and suggest the way forward for the respect of Rule of Law. A special feature of the conference will be the Plenary Session and Track 4 which will focus on Legal Road to Sustainable Development Goals: Global and Indian Route and EU Climate Justice Law, Governance, Management and Policy respectively.  Besides this, the conference along with other tracks will also have a track on European Legal Studies which is part of our ongoing projects where we welcome papers relating to European Studies in Law, Management, Humanities, Science, Trade, Economics and Climate Change.

The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented wake-up call, laying bare deep inequalities and exposing precisely the failures that are addressed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on climate change. Leveraging this moment of crisis, when usual policies and social norms have been disrupted, bold steps can steer the world back on track towards the Sustainable Development Goals. This is the time for change, for a profound systemic shift to a more sustainable economy that works for both people and the planet.

The Sustainable Development Goals are vital for a recovery that leads to greener, more inclusive economies, and stronger, more resilient societies. The research conference attempts to have climate change and sustainable development as the focal point of this year’s SYMROLIC 2023 conference.
