Project Objectives

Establishment of the ESDG Training Academy
​We will establish an annual ESDG Training Academy to promote the integration of EU’s ESG-related policies using innovative training methods and Open Educational Resources (OER). The academy will enhance knowledge and skills related to ESG among academia, professionals, and the public.
