International Week
- 23 May, 2023 - 25 May, 2023
In just over a month, the 7th International Week will start at the UAS Technikum Wien under the title Change our Tomorrow – Pathways to a sustainable future. In 2015, all member states of the United Nations committed to the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, the core of which are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Agenda is a clear action plan for countries and thus also for higher education institutions. In this shared journey, higher education institutions have recognized the need to balance education and social responsibility. But how can the SDGs be implemented in the tertiary education sector? And how can higher education institutions specifically anchored in the technical sector contribute to the achievement of specific SDGs? Let’s discuss this together!
As usual, we cordially invite you to attend the presentations. Please note Tuesday will take place this year at TechBase Auditorium, Giefinggasse 2, all other days in the large ballroom.
