The Regional Consultations were conducted in preparation for the UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development, “MONDIACULT 2025,” which will take place in Spain in September 2025. Dr. Moneera participated in the session titled “Culture as a Stand-alone Goal in the Next United Nations Post 2030 Agenda,” emphasizing that the UNESCO Chair in Translating Cultures draws its conceptual framework from the prioritization of culture and supports the inclusion of culture as a stand-alone goal in the post-2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.

Dr. Moneera also outlined the chair's role in establishing an innovative academic framework exemplified by the Translating Cultures Lab, which focuses on developing research policies, training early scholars, and disseminating best academic practices. It is worth noting that cultural rights, culture and digital transformation, economy of culture, and other topics are among the priorities at the Mondiacult 2025 Conference.
