SDGs at UofT
Researchers across U of T are banding together to help the United Nations meet its 17 sustainable development goals
The goals are a kind of blueprint for peace and prosperity around the world, and the newly formed “SDGs@UofT” serves as a nexus for the entire university community to access each other’s expertise and ideas.
Call for Proposals: SDGs@UofT Catalyst and Synthesis Grants
Deadline: December 3, 2024. The Catalyst and Synthesis Grant program aims to support multidisciplinary teams of researchers to test novel research questions and pursue pioneering conceptual and methodological approaches that have high potential to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and inform future goals; create and mobilize knowledge that enhances learning and catalyzes equitable action on the SDGs by engaging faculty and trainees and building strong, inclusive, and innovative partnerships.
SDGs@UofT brings scholars together in pursuit of UN Sustainable Development Goals
Members of SDGs@UofT, a University of Toronto institutional strategic initiative working to advance the goals ratified by the UN in 2015, are encouraging scholars and researchers from all disciplines — from humanities and social sciences, to public health, medicine and engineering — to lend their expertise to the collaborative effort to tackle complex global issues including poverty, hunger, gender equality, labour justice and climate change.
Newest institutional strategic initiative focuses on UN sustainable development goals
SDGs@UofT pursues an ambitious research agenda that addresses the 17 UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) –targets that individuals, communities, institutions and countries can work toward achieving by 2030. They include taking urgent steps to combat climate change, consuming and producing sustainably, improving health and education, reducing inequality and protecting the natural world, among others.
