The President's Award for Research Impacting the Sustainable Development Goals
Through the hard work and dedication of our students and staff, UCC is ranked the 8th most sustainable university in the world and is proud to be Ireland’s greenest University. In 2018, UCC was the first University outside of North America to be awarded a Gold Star from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. Through this award, the President honours UCC researchers and/or research teams whose research drives the sustainability agenda and progresses UCC’s leadership in this space. Sustainability should be explicitly embedded in the research and its outcomes, including relevance to the advancement of one or more UN SDGs.
