We will

• realise our ambitious Vision that, by 2030, Glasgow Caledonian University will be recognised as a world-leading University for social innovation
  
  
• ensure the Sustainable Development Goals provide the guiding framework for the delivery of our strategy

As the Sustainable Development Goals provide the guiding framework for the delivery of our Strategy, we have used the SDG indicators as the basis for our mapping of our GCU SDG KPI Mapping 2021. 

Social Innovation at GCU

Mark Majewsky Anderson, the Director of the Research and Innovation Office at GCU, joined the Common Good Podcast to talk about social innovation and how our vision to be world leading in social innovation ties in with our mission as the University for the Common Good.

Mark explains what we mean by the term “social innovation”, GCU’s participation in social innovation projects and how the concept will evolve and develop over the next decade.

SDG Accord

The SDG Accord is a global alliance of the world’s universities, colleges and sustainability networks. It has launched the fourth annual SDG report; ‘Sector SDG Accord Reporting 2021’.

The findings from the SDG Accord progress report this year, show that awareness of the SDGs in universities and colleges across the world is steadily increasing, but so too are the challenges, namely in the form of resources and access to consistent executive and governmental support.

GCU, as a member of the SDG Accord, provides an annual report outlining our progress and sharing our experience and learning from implementing the SDGs. Our most recent report is available‌ GCU SDG Accord Reporting 2021.
