SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals
UTH’s SDG strategy is built on strong partnerships. Its membership in the United Nations Academic Impact network aligns the University with global principles on human rights, sustainability and global citizenship, and its internationalisation strategy emphasises Erasmus+ mobility, joint programmes and European alliances. The INVEST European University Alliance, in which UTH is a core partner, fosters long-term collaboration on regional sustainability and innovative education models across European regions.
Strategic partnerships with international organisations, notably UNICEF and UNESCO for children’s rights and education, and participation in a broad portfolio of EU-funded projects—ARSINOE, NEXOGENESIS, NATALIE, NEXUSNET, ENHANCE, ENFORCE, DiBluCa and many others—demonstrate UTH’s capacity to collaborate with universities, research institutes, NGOs, companies and public authorities across Europe and beyond to co-deliver SDG-relevant knowledge and solutions.
Finally, UTH’s leadership actively represents the University and the region of Thessaly in high-level dialogues—such as the ARSINOE final conference high-level panel and PROMITHEASnet 2025—helping to bridge local experiences with European and global policy processes and reinforcing its role as a trusted partner in advancing the SDGs.
