22 ASEF Summer University

ASEFSU22 will be conducted under the theme “Sustainable Tourism: Youth Driving Green Growth” and will consist of a mix of practical team exercises, lectures, and group research. As a participant, you will be able to learn about sustainable tourism and green economics through a local “Innovathon” and Challenge Hub.

ASEFSU will focus on the three Dimensions of Sustainable Development:

1. Economic, including sustainable transport, youth employment, and sustainable consumption and production.
2. Social, including cultural heritage, inclusion, and interactions with locals
3. Environmental, including water and waste management, renewable energy, and technology.

The program will consist of four weeks of preparatory online work, two weeks of “Interdisciplinary Innovathon” in Croatia and Slovenia, and four weeks of online post-project activities.

There is no registration or participation fee. The organisers will cover accommodation and meals for the duration of the conference, plus a travel subsidy from your country of residence to the starting point and back.
