2026-05-04 – 2026-05-25
Industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9)
To get you in the mood, here are 5 questions you can ask yourself before starting the course. These questions can help you assess the relevance of the topics covered in SDG 9 from your everyday perspective. If you want, you can write down your thoughts and see at the end of the course whether and how your assessment has changed. 1) How does the infrastructure I use every day (transport, internet, energy) impact my quality of life and opportunities? 2) In what ways can I support or advocate for more sustainable and resilient infrastructure in my community? 3) How is innovation shaping the future of my profession, and how can I stay prepared for these changes? 4) What role can I play—at work or at home—in promoting cleaner, more efficient technologies? 5) How can inclusive and affordable access to technology and infrastructure help reduce inequalities around me? Have you taken the time? If so, then let's begin! This MOOC consists of three modules. Each module offers short presentations of the most important aspects of the SDGs, further reading suggestions, links to videos or other media formats, and exercises to help you review the content and develop further questions. The modules build upon each other, so we recommend starting with the first module.
MOOC on the Values of the European Union
The EU GREEN Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is available to promote understanding and engagement with European values. The course consists of 15 hours of online lessons, designed to be accessible and interactive for a broad audience. The MOOC explores key themes such as democracy, human rights, rule of law, cultural diversity, and active citizenship within the European context. The MOOC aims to: - Foster critical reflection on shared European principles. - Encourage civic participation and intercultural dialogue. - Support learners in applying these values in academic, professional, and social settings. This initiative contributes to WP6’s broader goal of strengthening educational outreach and value-based learning within EU GREEN.
Quality Education (SDG 4)
This MOOC introduces Sustainable Development Goal 4, Quality Education, by exploring key concepts and challenges related to education. Education is a key driver for achieving many of the other SDGs. When people have access to quality education, they can break the cycle of poverty. Through clear explanations and concrete examples, learners will develop a solid understanding of the mechanisms that can help ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable, and quality primary and secondary education in different contexts.
Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12)
This comprehensive course explores the cutting-edge intersections of biotechnology and sustainability, focusing on the circular economy through Responsible Consumption and Production. Over five specialized modules, participants will delve into the transformation of organic matter and industrial side-streams into high-value resources.
SDG 13 Climate Action
This MOOC introduces Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action) by exploring its key concepts and challenges. The course provides an overview of climate policies and practices, with a particular focus on the European context. It presents the key concepts of climate change, its causes and consequences, and it goes through action possibilities of adaptation and mitigation of climate change.

Understanding SDG 16 - Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
This MOOC analyses the international dimension of Sustainable Development Goal 16, which focuses on peace, justice and strong institutions. The course kicks off with the Westphalian system, founded on the absolute sovereignty of states and the absence of a higher authority capable of preventing the use of war. It then examines the League of Nations, the first attempt to institutionalise collective security, highlighting its limited successes and structural weaknesses. After that, the course traces the origins of the United Nations and the role of the Security Council, focusing on the veto power and its paralysing effects. Afterwards, the European Union is presented as a more advanced regional model, based on economic interdependence and the transfer of powers to common institutions. The second part of the MOOC addresses the shift from state responsibility to the international criminal responsibility of individuals. The Nuremberg and Tokyo trials marked the establishment of the principles of personal responsibility, the irrelevance of official position and the limited relevance of superior orders. Following the long hiatus caused by the Cold War, the tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda have revitalised international criminal justice and developed landmark case law on genocide and international crimes. The course culminates with an analysis of the International Criminal Court and the principle of complementarity. In general, the course demonstrates how the establishment of effective international institutions remains shaped by the unresolved tension between state sovereignty and shared authority.
