Event series „Contributing To The World’s To Do List – Heidelberger Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden stellen sich vor““
How can we best meet the challenges of sustainable development? And how do young scientists contribute to this through their research? The event series "Contributing To The World's To Do List - Heidelberg Doctoral Students Introduce Themselves", financed by the Stadt-Heidelberg-Stiftung and organized by the Graduate Academy of Heidelberg University, is taking a closer look at these questions.
Twice a year, doctoral candidates at Heidelberg University are invited to present their research as it relates to one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Each event is dedicated to one specific SDG and doctoral candidates are given the opportunity to present their own scientific projects in relation to this SDG and thus contribute to the transfer of academic research into society.
"Contributing to the world's to do list" is a quote by António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, from the opening of the 77th UN General Assembly (UNGA77) in September 2022. This motto serves as a call for a wide variety of campaigns in support of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals).
