PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS

• KU has established both long term and short-term partnerships with internally as well as externally to pursue Sustainable Development Goals. Khalifa University is actively involved in establishing long term strategic partnerships with a variety of organizations. The University currently enjoys strong relationships with over 40 national and international partners including industry leaders, multinational entities, government agencies, universities and other institutions.
• KU has worked with National Committee on Sustainable Development Goals as a cross sectoral initiative and has contributed towards the implementation of sustainable development goals at National level as per the UAE鈥檚 Vision 2030.  KU also participated in the development of action plans for SDG implementation by Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN).
• KU, through its researchers, aims to include a range of research papers such as 鈥淓dit Special Issue of Prestigious Journalism Journal鈥� to address several of the United Nations鈥� Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including gender equality (SDG goal 6), inequalities (SDG goal 10) and issues that relate to human wellbeing, social peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG goal 16).
• The KU-SDG Ambassador Program is a co-curricular program which aims to build upon KU鈥檚 membership into the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and introduce the UN-SDGs to our students, equipping them with the knowledge to contribute towards giving back to the community. This program includes a series of workshops on the topics of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Leadership with a focus on sustainability.
• KU鈥檚 vision, as a research-intensive institution, is to seamlessly integrate research and education to produce world leaders and critical thinkers in applied science, engineering, management and medicine, while continuously innovating and integrating the global standard in methods of learning and discovery.
• KU offers a wide range of elective courses which have SDG related themes such as Sustainability, Energy, Climate Change, Environment, Waste Management, Water etc.. For details refer to the under graduate and graduate catalogues. /undergraduate-catalog and /graduate-catalog
• To benefit the community at large, KU has launched the Community Webinar Series, a string of educational webinars designed to teach and inform the general public about a variety of beneficial topics, ranging from lessons on coronavirus to lessons on how to better understand your personality, build leadership skills, create a sustainable lifestyle, and many more. The series is targeted towards everyone 鈥� from high school and university students, to parents, professionals and anyone in between who is interested in broadening their skillset and knowledge. The seminars were offered free of charge to the local and international community of learners as an extension of KU鈥檚 active commitment to exchanging knowledge and resources in the spirit of collaboration to promote a happier, more engaged community, and a more sustainable world. www.ku.ac.ae/community-webinars 

KU Research Centers that Contribute to SDG #17:

• The Khalifa University 鈥� Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KU-KAIST) Joint Research Center The KU-KAIST Joint Research Center was launched in April 2019 and aims to provide comprehensive support for research projects involving the development of technologies that are shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution, particularly in the areas of Smart Transportation and Smart Healthcare, across the two campuses.

  Two projects linked to Smart Transportation (SDG 9) and Smart Healthcare (SDG 3) have commenced under the Joint Research Center August 2019. Following the official launch of the KU-KAIST Joint Research Center at KU鈥檚 Main Campus in April 2019, the KAIST-KU JRC at the KAIST Daejeon campus was also launched in July 2019. This is the second phase of collaboration following the partnership agreement that was signed in 2010 between the two institutions, which aimed to provide the best science and technology education as well as develop nuclear energy in the UAE

• UAE- Korea Joint R&D Technical Center The KUTC has been launched by KU and the Korea Basic Science Institute (KBSI), with support from the Korea Ministry of Science and ICT. It will initially cover areas including advanced materials especially in energy, oil and gas, and catalysts, as well as characterization of semiconductor materials and devices, in addition to materials for bio-medical and energy applications (SDG 7).

• Advanced Digital & Additive Manufacturing Center (ADAM) (SDG 9) focuses on digitally designing, simulating, and experimentally characterizing the additive manufacturing (AM) process through different AM technologies such as metal/plastic powder-bed infusion, fused deposition modeling, and polyjet processes. Simulating the AM process provides significant insights on the optimum printing parameters that lead to stable 3D printed components with enhanced mechanical and physical properties. Key national and international collaborators for this center include: New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), Strata, Siemens, Etihad Airways, Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Brunel University London, Dassault Aviation (DA), US Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), University of Applied Sciences (SUPSI)- Switzerland, and Abu Dhabi Police.
