Dipak R Pant
Founder of Interdisciplinary Unit for Sustainable Economy and Professor of Anthropology and Economics
Prof. Dipak R. Pant advises governmental, non-governmental and business organizations on policy and planning issues for environmentally sustainable and socially sound development. A tireless world explorer, he is regarded as the pioneer of ‘Extreme Lands Program’ which conducts ethnographic field surveys, economic studies and collaborative economic and social development planning in the most marginal and difficult terrains of the world. He is credited with shaping the global development debate by linking social and environmental sustainability with market competitiveness through the strategic concept of ‘place-brand’.
“Italy’s leading speaker on sustainable economic development”
In addition to his role as the leader of Interdisciplinary Unit for Sustainable Economy and Extreme Lands Program, he lectures on sustainability issues, development planning and global human security issues in some West European, Chinese and US scientific institutions. His field experience, insight and informed perspective are regularly sought by the business community, scientific organizations, governments and NGOs.[/expand]
By exploring vastness, diversity and complexity of human conditions in our world that is ever getting closer by transportation, technology and economic globalization, he clearly conveys the far reaching implications for organizations, communities and nations. He explains how unprecedented risks, challenges, and opportunities are emerging out of the global churning of eco-systems, ethnic identities and economies. The originality and freshness of his first-hand real-life experience and the profoundness of his reflections and vision are unparalleled.[/expand]
A lively and fluid speaker, Prof. Pant is deeply thoughtful and simple and uses comprehensible common terminology.[/expand]
