The academy and the promotion of peace and justice

In this panel, we address one of universities' missions - social transformation - and how teaching and research can contribute to SDG 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions. We also discuss how universities should respond to that challenge in their academic and organisational policies. We debate and get new ideas on how they should define and develop strategies to carry it out, and examine how we can measure the impact of these redefined strategies.
