Building Global Partnerships for Sustainable Development (SDG no. 17).

5th International Sustainability Workshop

We are happy to pronounce our 5th International Sustainability Workshop focuses on Building Global Partnerships for Sustainable Development (SDG no. 17).

SDG 17 aims to “strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development”, however, what does that mean for a university and its researchers in practice? How can global partnerships be built up in order to address SDGs? Together with the International Office, we will discuss the concept of
“Global Responsibility”. The International Office is building up university cooperation around the world, e.g. Myanmar, Afghanistan, Morocco, Egypt or Nigeria. Join our discussion on how global partnerships can help to achieve the Sustainability Development Goals.
