Education for SDGs commitment to meaningful education

Università IULM has a strong commitment to meaningful education around the SDGs that is relevant and applicable to all students. IULM integrates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across its full academic curriculum and university initiatives. IULM is in fact a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), a United Nations-supported initiative. PRME aims to embed sustainability in higher education, ensuring future leaders are equipped with the skills to balance economic, environmental, and social goals, directly aligning IULM with the UN’s work toward achieving the SDGs.

This is also outlined in the University Strategic Plan 2022-2024, where IULM commits to promoting cultural democracy and contributing to societal progress. As part of this commitment, IULM focuses on educating students about the SDGs, making this knowledge applicable across various fields of study and expanding it beyond the campus to benefit society at large.

To reinforce this, IULM established the IULM Sustainability Committee, chaired by the Rector’s Proxy to Sustainability and Social Responsibility, to ensure sustainability education and initiatives are deeply integrated into academic life. This committee promotes sustainability practices across the IULM community, such as environmental awareness campaigns, energy reduction, and sustainable mobility efforts.

Through these initiatives, IULM demonstrates its commitment to fostering sustainability education and preparing students to address global challenges.
