🌍 KEYNOTE ADDRESS | IV IPSPA SYMPOSIUM 2026
Beyond Growth: Rewiring Society 6.0 through Circular Wisdom and Sustainable Governance
🎤 Keynote Speaker: Vesna Tornjanski 🇷🇸 🇲🇾
🏛️ Event: IV International Political Science and Public Administration Symposium
📅 Date: October 8–9, 2026
📌 Format: Online Program
♻️ Conference Theme: Sustainable Development and Circularity Policies
🎓 Host Institution: Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, Türkiye 🇹🇷
🔎 Keynote Focus
This keynote explores how Society 6.0 can be reimagined beyond conventional growth paradigms through circular wisdom, sustainable governance, and human-centered societal transformation.
It advances a systemic perspective on aligning technological progress, ecological responsibility, institutional innovation, and collective well-being. At its heart is a call for structural alignment between the HSDGs, and the UN 5Ps: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership, across every level of society, from global and national governance to organizations, communities, and individuals.
🌐 Five Strategic Pillars
♻️ Circular Wisdom — redefining value creation through resource stewardship, regeneration, and responsible consumption.
🌱 Beyond Growth — broadening progress beyond conventional economic measures to encompass ecological integrity, social well-being, and long-term prosperity.
🏛️ Sustainable Governance — embedding policy coherence, institutional accountability, and adaptive decision-making into governance systems.
🤝 Structural Alignment Across Society — translating the SDGs, HSDGs, and 5Ps into mutually reinforcing priorities, responsibilities, policies, organizational strategies, and individual actions.
🔭 Human-Centered Society 6.0 — aligning technological innovation with human values, planetary boundaries, and intergenerational responsibility.
🎯 Key Messages
🌍 Align the SDGs and HSDGs structurally with the 5Ps to connect global sustainability commitments with national strategies, institutional mandates, organizational practices, community initiatives, and individual responsibility.
🔄 Embed circularity into governance and economic systems as a cross-cutting principle of resource management, value creation, and regenerative development.
🏛️ Strengthen multilevel governance and policy coherence by connecting objectives, decision-making, implementation, accountability, and measurable outcomes across sectors and levels of society.
🤝 Operationalize the 5Ps: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership as an integrated framework for aligning social, environmental, economic, institutional, and collaborative priorities.
💡 Place human values at the center of technological transformation, ensuring that Society 6.0 advances inclusive innovation and collective well-being.
🌱 Institutionalize intergenerational responsibility by connecting present decisions with the long-term resilience and flourishing of future generations.
🎓 Strategic Significance and Policy Implications
The keynote calls for a transition from fragmented sustainability initiatives toward structurally aligned, multilevel, and whole-of-society governance. It emphasizes that the SDGs, HSDGs, and 5Ps should not operate as separate agendas, but as interconnected reference points for policy formulation, institutional design, organizational governance, and individual action.
This approach requires vertical alignment between global commitments, national policies, local implementation, organizational objectives, and individual practices, supported by horizontal coordination across sectors, institutions, and society.
Within this architecture, circular wisdom provides a guiding principle for resource stewardship and regenerative value creation, while sustainable governance provides the institutional mechanisms for coordination, accountability, adaptation, and long-term impact.
The central proposition is that Society 6.0 requires more than sustainable technologies and isolated policy reforms: it requires a coherent architecture of shared purpose, aligned responsibilities, and mutually reinforcing action across all levels of society.
✨ Beyond growth. Beyond fragmentation. Towards structurally aligned SDGs, HSDGs, and 5Ps for a circular, regenerative, and human-centered Society 6.0.

Just Governance for Society 6.0 – Awakening Human-Centric Wisdom for a Flourishing World

🎓 Title: Just Governance for Society 6.0: Awakening Human-Centric Wisdom for a Flourishing World
🔍 Overview
In an era defined by smart technologies, global interdependence, and accelerating change, a new vision of governance is taking shape, one grounded in justice, ethics, and human values.
This video presents groundbreaking international research on Just Governance in Society 6.0, developed by scholars from Serbia, Morocco, India, China, Greece, Algeria, and Pakistan, with contributions from researchers and practitioners worldwide.
Society 6.0 represents the next evolutionary stage of human civilization, a Collective Evolutionary Ecosystem where humans and intelligent systems co-create sustainable, inclusive, and wise societies. Within this paradigm, Just Governance provides the ethical and structural foundation to align political, economic, social, and technological progress with fairness, transparency, accountability, and intergenerational responsibility.
🌍 Core Vision
Governance is reimagined as a human-centric covenant, not merely an administrative mechanism, but a living, participatory, and incorruptible ecosystem that nurtures justice, equity, and harmony across generations.
The framework integrates the five pillars of human sustainability (5Ps):
People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership, forming the foundation of the Humanity’s Sustainable Development Goals (HSDGs).
⚙️ Research Framework & Methodology
This study employs a unique, integrated methodology combining:
Beckhard and Harris’s transformation model – for systemic change;
PRISMA – for comprehensive research synthesis;
The Five-Stage Method – for conceptual innovation and model development.
These approaches construct an integrated and dynamic governance framework capable of addressing contemporary challenges, including inequality, fragmentation, and social, economic, and ecological imbalances.
💡 Key Insights
The research introduces a paradigm shift, from bureaucratic, hierarchical governance toward an evolutionary, participatory, and ethically driven system rooted in Collective Harmony.
The proposed model integrates six complementary intelligences:
Human, Smart Machine, Ecological, Cultural, Ethical/Spiritual, and Collective, operating within a continuous data–knowledge–intelligence–wisdom–action cycle that fuels sustainable and just societal evolution.
