News in brief:
This session invites researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to explore the development of Dharma-based metrics as alternatives to conventional measurement systems through their papers. With a focus on the limitations of current metrics—often narrowly quantitative and reductionist—the session aims to uncover new approaches that capture lesser-known phenomena, such as well-being, ethical responsibility, and ecological harmony. Papers are encouraged on themes like the philosophical underpinnings of Dharma-driven measurement, the need to go beyond metrics to include qualitative and spiritual dimensions, and the potential for these frameworks to drive more holistic and sustainable development.
