  • The role of experiential and place-based learning in connecting students to local sustainability issues.

Environmental Education and Climate Change

  • Strategies for enhancing environmental and climate literacy across all educational levels.
  • The contribution of educational institutions to climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.
  • Case studies on initiatives such as green school certification, sustainable campus models, and waste management programs.

Educational Technology for Sustainable Development

  • Leveraging technology (e.g., AI, virtual reality, augmented reality) for simulating complex environmental challenges and sustainable solutions.
  • The use of online learning platforms and open educational resources (OERs) to broaden access to sustainability education.

  • Examining institutional governance structures that prioritize and integrate sustainability into educational operations and missions.

Publication Opportunity

The ETLTC Conference Series maintains strategic collaborations with Engineering Proceedings (MDPI) and AIP Publishing, both indexed in Scopus, offering contributors the opportunity to publish their work through internationally recognized and reputable platforms.

Acknowledging the interdisciplinary nature of the research presented at this conference, the Organizing Committee is also formalizing publication collaborations with other distinguished outlets, including Scopus-indexed proceedings and nationally accredited journals (SINTA). These collaborations aim to ensure that each accepted manuscript is matched with the most relevant and high-quality publication avenue.

The collaborating journals and publication partners include, but are not limited to:

  • International Journal of Recent Educational Research (IJORER) – a reputable international journal publishing contemporary studies in the field of education.
  • Jurnal Pendidikan Indonesia – a nationally accredited (SINTA 1) journal publishing empirical and theoretical research across diverse areas of education.
  • Indonesian Journal of Educational Research and Review – a peer-reviewed journal emphasizing educational innovation, research methodology, and practical implications for learning and teaching.
  • Indonesian Values and Character Education Journal – focusing on research related to character formation, moral education, and value-based learning in diverse educational settings.
  • Bisma: The Journal of Counseling – dedicated to advancing scholarship in counseling, guidance, and educational psychology.
  • Journal of Education Technology – publishing studies on instructional design, digital learning, and technology-enhanced education.

Given that not all research fields can be accommodated by a single proceedings outlet, the Organizing Committee is currently in the process of finalizing contracts with additional publishers. This initiative aims to provide broader publication options for researchers. These supplementary options include reputable journals, such as the International Journal of Recent Educational Research (IJORER), which is Scopus-indexed (Q3 Quartile) and also indexed in DOAJ, Google Scholar, Garuda, and Sinta 2.

Comprehensive details regarding publication scopes, editorial policies, and the finalized list of collaborating publishers will be announced on the official conference website upon completion of the necessary contractual arrangements with respective partners.
