What can we do at the UdA for the SDGs?

To highlight its commitment to sustainability, in February 2022, the University of Andorra launched an internal competition to reward projects related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that could be applied to the institution. The first two editions of the SDG Contest focused on SDG 13 (climate action), to bring to light actions applicable to the UdA that could contribute to the fight against climate change, considering that it is the most environmental challenge that humanity must face in the 21st century.

As a result of the first edition of the contest, which took place during the second semester of the 2021-2022 academic year, the UdA compiled a collection of energy-saving measures and other tips aimed at the university community. Reusable water bottles were distributed among students and staff.

The second edition of the contest awarded a project that proposed automating the irrigation of the Sant Julià de Lòria social garden which is managed by students, and the project to create an interactive serious game to encourage daily actions that favour energy efficiency.

The third edition of the contest, held at the beginning of 2024, focused on SDG 3 (health and well-being), with the title “What can we do at the UdA for health and well-being?” On this occasion, an IT platform for disseminating knowledge in the field of health was awarded, along with a project to promote the digital well-being of the university community.

In addition to the winning projects, the aim is that, as far as possible, the UdA can implement the ideas from all the projects that have been presented in each edition.
