Xamk Beyond 2021. Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility

Abstract

The theme of Xamk Beyond 2021 is sustainable development and social responsibility. Xamk has joined the United Nation´s programme for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To meet these goals, it is our responsibility at Xamk to share our expertise developed in our research, development, and innovation projects, to support and challenge industry and businesses, and higher education institutions, municipalities, staff, and students, to build a more sustainable future together. While this often occurs naturally in many of our RDI projects, teaching, and in our collaboration with the world of business, we need to take care to foster the development of our knowledge-exchange with the boarder international scientific community. To that end, we tasked our authors to address the sustainable development goals within their own research and projects. Addressing these questions is key to starting to meet our commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals. Specifically, our measures taken to produce necessary information to support and increase the impact of our RDI activities at the local, regional, national, and international level. While actively and comprehensively highlighting the results of our activities and good practices for the benefit of society, especially through the promotion of societal discussion and the transparency of information.
