Our Goals

Our sustainability goals reflect both our regional responsibilities and our global vision:

  1. Integrate SDGs into education
    Embed sustainability principles across all faculties so every programme makes a clear contribution to the SDGs.
  2. Support research with impact
    Advance interdisciplinary work in marine and maritime domains, health and wellbeing, education and skills, technology and innovation, and social responsibility - with practical outcomes.
  3. Enhance campus sustainability
    Improve resource stewardship on campus (energy, water, waste, mobility), and share concise, bilingual updates so progress is visible.
  4. Strengthen social responsibility
    Grow community-centred initiatives - such as the 60+ Refreshment University - that promote lifelong learning, inclusion and intergenerational exchange.
  5. Lifelong and continuing education for all
    Through the Continuing Education Center (GUSEM), expand short-term, international-standard training for individuals and institutions. Prioritise interactive, skills-based learning that helps people upskill, reskill and renew their practice.
  6. Evidence and transparency
    Tag activities to SDGs; provide public links, posters and summaries; and keep evidence easy to find via our Events pages.
  7. Engage locally, collaborate globally
    Build partnerships within Cyprus and internationally to share expertise, scale impact and contribute credibly to the global SDG agenda.
