In 2015, the members of the United Nations agreed on the 2030 Agenda. This is a roadmap for the future, which includes economic, ecological, and social aspects.
The 2030 Agenda aims to enable a dignified life worldwide while the natural foundations of life should be permanently preserved. Within the framework of the 2030 Agenda, 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) were presented. These include “health and well-being”, “quality education”, “gender equality” and “decent work and economic growth”.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are gaining importance in the context of science. They are directly related to the selection of research topics, third-party funding, the deployment of scientific staff, and the content of research projects and study programs. The workshop will provide essential knowledge related to the 17 SDGs. Based on this, two central topics will be examined in more detail:
- SDGs in the context of research activities
- SDGs in the context of teaching activities.
