SWISS-ASEAN LEARNING AND TEACHING

The Swiss-ASEAN Learning and Teaching Association invites researchers, students and university faculty to submit their abstracts for the third Connect-Us Conference 2023. The third Connect-Us Conference is organised in 2023 in Manila, Philippines, hosted by San Beda University.

CuC 2023 focuses on the Challenges and Opportunities in a Post-COVID World.

The economic and public health challenges and policy responses created by COVID-19 have severely affected economic activities in most countries around the globe. The pandemic has been expected to plunge economies into recession in 2020, with per capita income contracting in the largest fraction of countries globally since 1870. The World Bank forecasts poverty to increase across developing East Asia excluding China for the first time in 20 years. The outlook for the unemployed in some sectors, tourism, looks especially bleak. The economic and social crises triggered by COVID-19 have added to the challenges of the immediate health crisis.

Therefore, it will be important to find ways for a post-pandemic recovery. But there are a lot of issues that go beyond these short-term effects. Crises like the COVID-19-pandemics also offer windows of opportunity for promoting new ways of doing business and facilitate sustainability transitions across the globe. Hence, submission of papers in any of the sub-themes to present challenges and solutions to problems caused or stimulated by COVID-19 in the fields of economics, management, business, sustainable development, and education are most welcome.

Sub Themes are defined as:

1) Moving Forward: Learning and Teaching beyond Pandemic

2) Realigning Sustainable Development Goals Beyond Pandemic

3) Redesigning Business During the Pandemic and Beyond

The template for Abstract submission and Full Paper submission are available on the CuC Webpage.
