HZ University of Applied Sciences SDG-Challenge

The mission of the HZ University of Applied Sciences SDG-Challenge is to inspire and mobilize students and organizations to work together on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). These goals are set to combat climate change and to reduce the inequalities in the world.

Students of HZ University of Applied Sciences team up with leading organizations of the region to work together on a SDG-Challenge of the organization.

The organization of the SDG-Challenge developed a special "pressure-cooker", so that the teams will come up with tangible and actionable ideas that will contribute to the SDGs.
