SDG-iLevel
Project
Leveraging Individual SDG Contributions by University Staff
SDG-iLevel aims at driving innovation and achieve sustainable impact in three topical areas of higher education: (1) sustainable development, (2) digital innovation and (3) mental well-being of higher education staff.
The project will create approaches, methods and tools aimed at uncovering, harnessing and strengthening the individual contributions of higher education employees to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in order to improve their mental well-being, job satisfaction, productivity and teamwork to promote further SDG contributions.
SDG-iLevel closes the gap of visibilizing individual contributions of university staff to the development of the SDGs by unlocking their potential. In addition, recognising and celebrating individual SDG contributions helps higher education staff to better understand and leverage their position in relation to the SDGs, increasing their commitment to sustainable development, enhancing mindfulness and a sense of purpose, improving mental well-being and overall job satisfaction, and fostering teamwork based on shared values and goals. While the primary focus of the project is on individual contributions to the SDGs, many of these contributions occur through collaborations involving groups, academic units, and entire organisations. This demands that individual SDG contributions should be analysed as complementing and strengthening the collective effort to achieve the SDGs.
