Sustainable Development

During 2021-2022 WIUT worked in partnership with the community to further progress its commitment to the SDGs. This has helped improve and grow the understanding, passion and commitment as well as delivering practical actions to make a positive impact. The engagement has increased with the colleagues, student body and groups to increase awareness and understanding of the SDGs in Uzbekistan. Moreover, strategic operating plans have developed for all Departments and Schools across the University, with the inclusion of the SDGs. 

In 2019, the university joined the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UN SDSN). The faculty members, students and staff gain access to the Network to help identify and connect with other sustainable development experts, promote activities and events and discover new prospects for funding, collaboration and much more.
