Successful projects will explore solutions to global, national and local problems, helping raise awareness of the SDGs among 香港六合彩中特网 students and ensuring聽香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 own policies and operations actively contribute to attaining the Goals.
香港六合彩中特网's Pro-Vice-Provost International, Professor Deenan Pillay, said: "香港六合彩中特网 researchers and their international partners have an opportunity to collaboratively contribute solutions to the critical challenges posed by the SDGs. We hope this funding will support staff to transform their emerging collaborations into something capable of delivering benefit to people around the world."
