UniNEtZ is…
The UniNEtZ (Universities and Sustainable Development Goals) project aims to support (political) decision-makers in the implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Austria. The SDG 13 group deals with "climate protection measures". 13 research institutions are working together under the auspices of the CCCA (= "Sponsorship* for SDG 13").
The UniNEtZ project pursues the following goals
- Developing a coordinated catalog of options for how Austria can implement the SDGs from a systemic perspective
- Addressing the SDGs at universities in research, teaching, continuing education, responsible science and university management
- Creating added value through cooperation and recombining knowledge
- Interdisciplinary networking within and across universities
- Interaction with stakeholders from politics, administration, business and civil society
- Attempts to interact with "the other 50%" (system losers)
- Building expertise in the issues raised by the SDGs among teaching staff/researchers and students
- Establishment of a coordination office for the working groups and an explicit contact point for stakeholders at universities
