About Us
The Global Research Group - Asia SDGs is a global research group chaired by National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) and supported by Worldwide Universities Network (WUN). The purpose of the Group is to promote, implement, study and compile the best practices related to SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). It is our hope that the Group will facilitate and inspire more in-depth and thought-provoking case studies of SDG practices in Asia. The ultimate goal of the Group is to realize greater benefits and positive impacts of SDG as well as to fulfill university social responsibility (USR). By providing seed funding and a supporting network of scholars and researchers, we aim to build a platform for researchers from different regions to share views and exchange perspectives and eventually produce thorough and comprehensive solutions to the SDGs-related problems facing Asia.
