In a series of SUEUAA working papers, the team focus on overarching themes (environment, policy, migration, gender, and the economy), and show the similarities and differences across the different study cities in terms of the capacity of the University to respond to these city-wide issues.
The fifth in this series provides both a general overview of the socio-economic context of each of the partner countries and cities and explores the role that universities can play and what they can contribute in supporting and enhancing socio-economic development in the pursuit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our thematic paper series is currently undergoing a small facelift to ensure it meets the requirements of the British Library. Over the next few weeks, our thematic papers on policy, migration, environment, economy, and gender will receive ISSN numbers to enable them to be stored in the British Library. This will ensure a wider audience can access and reference the work conducted as part of this study.
