Sustainable university

According to the University of Tartu Strategic Plan 2021-2025, we are an innovative organisation focused on sustainable development, providing equal opportunities and following best practices. We move towards a more open, environmentally aware and cooperation-minded organisational culture. We increase the opportunities of the members of the university to develop and use their potential in the best manner, carrying the values of the university and taking pride in the university and their participation in the everyday life and development of the university. 

We stand for a research- and evidence-based world view, value top-level researchers, favour the development of future academic staff and actively use international support to finance research. Our researchers contribute to achieving the goals of sustainable development and the roadmap of the European Green Deal. 

The university’s strategic plan is in line with the United Nations Declaration “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, which includes the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and guidelines for their achievement.
