Study Abroad: The Role of HEIs in Attaining the G20 Agenda of SDGs. How Students Can Benefit From It?

According to the assessment of Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings, world universities have outdone themselves through progress in research studies. Therefore, G20 nations can tap into their potential to achieve their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) more efficiently. 

There are four major factors through which Higher Education Institutions can help achieve the SDGs faster. Firstly, they have the scope and resources to research policies and cutting-edge technology which can help in bringing new sustainable reforms.

They can also guide the local communities through their student base and create awareness about their policies while also gathering feedback. Furthermore, they will naturally preserve their research and resources on their own reducing the burden. 

The most promising benefit of universities attaining this task is that they will also educate the next generation of leaders in the field by providing them the opportunity to be a part of such programs. Students will also gain first-hand knowledge during the process.

How Students Can Benefit From It?

If universities are tapped for the G20 nation’s SDG agenda of 2030, then there can be major opportunities opening for students in those fields and countries. Generally, when universities are given such projects there are scholarships, grants and relaxations introduced for the students. 

These students will also have a great chance of attaining better research and work opportunities. This is because governments and industries fund such projects to ensure they have the latest technology and resources. 

Students studying in any of the 17 fields of SDGs targeted by G20 Nations can build great connections and research portfolios. Hence, this is a two-for-one deal that can benefit both the G20 Agenda 2030 as well as the universities and students.
