The ISP is structured as a 4-day, 32-hour in-person program spread over two parts. Part A will be held at UPES in Dehradun from September 19 to 21, 2024, and Part B will take place at Mahindra University in Hyderabad from November 28 to 30, 2024. The ISP will be delivered at the RISE Centre (Research on Impact, Sustainability, and ESG), a joint initiative between UPES and Aspire Impact, that is set to be inaugurated on September 21, 2024. The Centre is dedicated to advancing research and education in sustainability and ESG impact.
