To address the interdependent UN sustainable development goals effectively, a new approach is required. By bringing together and interacting with all disciplines in the fields of sciences, social sciences, health sciences, engineering, arts and humanities, Una Europa makes it possible to research and teach the connections and interdependencies between the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We aim to transform Una Europa into a single transnational campus that generates cross-disciplinary knowledge and societal interaction and to educate the next generation in making the 2030 Agenda part of daily life
