Third Annual Sustainable Development Goals Workshop - Partnership, Leadership, and Change

Date 16 June 2025
Time 9:30am - 6pm
Location Cavendish Campus
Cost Free

Our University has a high-level commitment to making the Sustainable Development Goals integral to our education, research and knowledge exchange, inclusion, and operations - as well as to our everyday work and life. Our commitment comes across in our strategies, policies and practices. We have regularly secured external recognition of our achievements. There is a lot to celebrate and share as a collective. The workshop will do that!

Please join us on Monday 16 June for a series of lightning 3-minute presentations from colleagues across the University, broken up by guided workshops and (of course!) refreshments.
