The Global University Network for innovation (GUNi) presented their latest publication, “Implementing the 2030 Agenda at Higher Education Institutions: Challenges and Responses”, on 3 and 4 October during the second meeting of the GUNi Group of Experts on SDGs and Higher Education in Barcelona.
The publication focuses on the obstacles that higher education institutions encounter when implementing the Sustainable Development Goals and offers some clues as to what some higher education institutions do to overcome them.
EUA Senior Policy Coordinator Thomas Jorgensen contributed to the publication by highlighting universities’ active role in achieving the SDGs and the existing challenges they face when taking this role to the next level.
Through this project, GUNi and its partners hope to demonstrate their commitment and reinforce the role of higher education institutions, partnerships, knowledge and research in the achievement of the goals and a better future for all.
