The Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) are 17 societal goals, which were ratified by the UN in 2015. The goals are multi-layered and need to be tackled together to balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental. Together with 192 other states Austria declared to support the SDGs. Raw materials and their processing have a considerable impact on development, economy and modern society.

Our Partner, the Montanuniversitaet Leoben has vast expertise on the value-life-cycle of raw materials which is mirrored in the responsible use of these resources. Montanuniversitaet will contribute its competence to the SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
