“Universities are vital”. Regardless of your role in the Solution Ecosystem, there is an important role universities can play. When you are considering Goals Partnerships Resources Training Workflow processes Intelligence Gathering/Research Amplification/Communication of message Universities can help. I’ll talk with anyone anytime about this.

Universities should contribute to achieve UN sustainable development goals as they have unique place in society and are centres of creative thinking and innovation to prepare future leaders who are expected to provide positive impact on people, society, environment and the planet!!

The 1st of January 2024 didn't just mark the start of a new year. It marked the beginning of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development. The decade will encourage collaboration across the sciences, making progress on all 17 sustainable development goals through interdisciplinary research and projects. It is a call for scientists and funders to find novel ways of working, share knowledge globally and freely, and harness all the sciences to bring about transformative change. Major changes to scientific process, funding and delivery is required if we are to meet the 2030 agenda. We've written all about it in our latest blog. #sustainability #sustainable #science #change #changeagents #sdgs2030

From 2024, aligning research with the 17 SDGs has become essential for diversifying academic profiles. Your contributions to these global goals not only enhance your research impact but also reflect your institution’s commitment to sustainable development. Let’s continue driving meaningful change through our research efforts! 🌍📊 #SDGs #SustainableDevelopment #ResearchImpact #GlobalGoals #AcademicExcellence"

What is leadership in a complex creative universe? It is the nurturing of capability! Hats off to Dr. Pilvi Torsti and her colleagues at European Training Foundation for walking the talk! Cultivating futures literacy enables organisations to both detect and invent novelty. By becoming better able to diversify why and how they imagine the future people turn uncertainty from a liability into an asset. Novelty, the wellspring of leadership, becomes not only more noticeable but easier to invent. Thanks to Cristiano Cagnin;Thierry Foubert, and Alessandra Massaro.

Universities MUST be part of the game plan for reaching the Sustainable Development Goals - I'm re-posting this World Economic Forum piece as the WEF community gathers for the Sustainable Development Impact Meetings 2024 #SDIM24 Universities are vital to delivering the United Nations #SDGs - they nurture the next generation of skilled, sustainable citizens and prepare our future leaders. They make the breakthrough discoveries we need to tackle the world’s biggest challenges. They transfer their knowledge and ideas from their lecture rooms and laboratories into society through collaborations with governments and businesses.

Universities also need to extend their contribution beyond knowledge generation and dissemination and must also reevaluate their institutional ethics and practices too which is also fundamental to reaching SDG's.
