5th International Online Workshop on Sustainable Development

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are happy to pronounce our 5th International Sustainability Workshop focuses on How to build up 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.

When: 29th of October from 1 pm - 3 pm (CEST)

Where: The workshop will be hosted via ZOOM

Why should I participate: Take the chance to actively get engaged by listening, discussing and building up a mindset for cooperation to achieve a more sustainable world.
