Objetive 4: Exploring and critically reflecting the role of higher education for the SDGs.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its key messages towards people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership need science and higher education to increase the chances of success. Any development initiative is based on the scientific knowledge produced by international partners and constantly spread in the political, society and economic spheres. German universities and their different internationalization strategies are targeting towards the co-production of knowledge, joint perspectives and the engagement in transformative action in order to improve the contribution of higher education for reaching the SDGs. The partners of the DSSP not only will establish new alliances to increase the rate of post-graduate students in the partner universities; they also will re-think higher education by addressing the terms, conditions and processes of knowledge production to foster the integration of the universities and appreciate diverse educational systems and environments around the world.
