University community

VŠE is aware of its influence in society and the responsibility it entails. As part of its Sustainability Strategy, it is committed on a long-term basis to supporting awareness-raising
of sustainability in the broader university community and to disseminating examples of best practices. This applies to the internal community, such as students and staff, and the external community, such as alumni, businesses or public institutions. VŠE will support and strengthen these communities. It will also expand its support for volunteering. Fulfilling this strategic area will enable VŠE to contribute to the global SDGs: SDG 8 – Decent work and economic growth, SDG 16 – Peace, justice and strong institutions, and especially SDG 17 – Partnerships for the goals.
