Increasingly, teaching and research focused on sustainability, environmental education, cultural heritage, equity, inclusion and the principles of multicultural diversity are under attack. These pressures threaten the integrity of academic institutions that strive to foster a sense of belonging, advance social justice and ensure accessibility while promoting inclusion and stewardship of the planet.<\/p>\n<p>The Challenges Institute of the Learning Planet Institute and Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9 invites researchers, education leaders, policymakers, innovators and students to contribute to a crucial international conference that will examine the evolving mission of universities in what Fran\u00e7ois Taddei (LPI) and Pavel Luksha (GEF) have called a \u201cperfect storm\u201d of disruption. As we pass through this decisive historical moment, how can universities move from being \u201cbest in the world\u201d to \u201cbest for the world\u201d? This conference creates a unique convergence of research presentations, advocacy dialogues and reflections on institutional resilience and renewal. It will serve as a platform to explore how higher education can address complex global challenges while reimagining its fundamental role in society. We invite you to join this critical conversation about the future of higher education and its potential to guide humanity towards sustainable and regenerative futures. Together, we will explore how universities can transform from knowledge factories to sanctuaries of wisdom, ethical leadership and human flourishing in a time of profound transitions. Topics for discussion will include <\/p>\n<h4><strong> Reimagining university missions in the age of polycrisis<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Critical analyses of university responses to climate
