U of T News: U of T students, researchers brainstorm ways to advance UN Sustainable Development Goals
The 17 Zoom Rooms @ U of T event saw 120 graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and professors find ways to incorporate the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their academic activities. Participants were assigned to one of 17 virtual “rooms” to generate ideas on how to advance the SDGs at the university and beyond. This event was inspired by the 17 Rooms Initiative launched by the Brookings Institution and the Rockefeller Foundation to stimulate innovative forms of collective action to advance the SDGs.
