ISEG's Research Contribution to the SDGs

The greatest contribution of universities to the SDGs is through scientific research and training. In order to determine and quantify ISEG's contribution in the last 10 years, a mapping was carried out, within the scope of a Master's thesis during 2020.

There is no doubt that ISEG has contributed to the various SDGs. However, the big challenge ahead of us is to be able to develop more research, theses and knowledge capable of connecting the various SDGs and understanding the interdependencies between them.
