Examining university engagement with the SDG agenda panel

We invite you to join us at the Examining university engagement with the SDG agenda session.

Much work remains to identify, enable and motivate society to implement the transformations required to address the grand challenges represented by the global Sustainable Development Goals agenda. Universities are uniquely placed to facilitate a global transformation by critically exploring how we can help with the SDGs, and how the SDGs can help us.

Hear from experts on how innovative research engagement approaches can provide conceptual support for educators and collaborators interested in scaling up their positive impact and value.
