Come and enjoy presentations, talks and opportunities to engage with world-leading research and initiatives showcasing the Sustainable Development Goals.
UNSW’s inaugural SDG Showcase will be held on Monday 23 September in the John Niland Scientia Building on Kensington campus.
It’s an exciting opportunity to explore the innovative projects that have contributed to our ranking as 7th globally in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings and to understand how UNSW is tackling the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
