The dissemination of the SDGs is a key component of the EU GREEN Alliance project, of which UPWr is an active member. The Alliance places a strong emphasis on raising awareness and integrating the SDGs into both academic curricula and institutional practices. By promoting these goals, EU GREEN aims to foster a culture of sustainability and social responsibility across its member universities. This commitment is reflected in collaborative research, joint degree programs, and community engagement activities that align with the global agenda for sustainable development. UPWr’s achievements in the THE Impact Rankings serve as a testament to the university’s dedication to these shared values and its role in advancing the mission of the EU GREEN Alliance. AA
