Webinar: Embedding SDGs in HEI Practices

In this webinar we will explore the ways in which higher education institutions are working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through which activities they are embedding the SDGs in their practices and how sustainability links with higher education innovation.

The webinar will be moderated by Fiona Godsman, a member of the HEInnovate expert group and it will engage:
