Keynote

Isabel Rimanoczy, Ed.D. 

Isabel Rimanoczy, Ed.D. is an academic, who has made it her life purpose to promote change accelerators. She developed the Sustainability Mindset, a concept she has been studying for the last 15 years. It all started with business leaders who championed corporate initiatives with a positive impact on the environment and the community. What inspired these leaders to act in a business-as-unusual way?  

She created an international cohort of 190 academics from 180 universities on five continents promoting a holistic sustainability mindset with their students. The professors foster a new paradigm, social action and consciousness. The members are researching the Sustainability Mindset in their context and culture,  writing papers, and presenting at conferences. 

She is the author of fifteen books and is preparing the launch of the first Sustainability Mindset Indicator, a personal development tool to assess where we are on our journey towards a mindset for a better world.
