(REF 20056)Transformational Strategic Alliances for Positive Change: A new and innovative approach to achieving UN SDGs
Strategic partnerships should aim to become 'transformational' for all parties and achieve the wider societal benefit, addressing UN SDGs. These novel alliances are long-term, multi-faceted, peer-to-peer, and formal, with high inter-organizational commitment and a strong alignment of values.

During this fireside chat, hear from leading practitioners and thought leaders in collaboration as they discuss contemporary issues impacting partnerships for the Global Goals and consider practical elements to make them thrive. They will explain with examples from their own experience of how transformational alliances move beyond the transactional and help to accelerate progress towards achieving an organisation's mission, whether in industry, academia, civil society, or government. They passionately argue that successful partnerships underpin not only achieving the UN SDGs but also the next generation of universities.

Aim: Our PhD_Sdc (IUSS Pavia) represents an INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL ROADMPAP TO Create a new transdisciplinary approach for studying climate change and the sustainable future.
The innovation of study moves towards young people with the ambition to contribute to the evolution of society, towards sustainable models in all aspects, and people who are looking for a transdisciplinary scientific ecosystem to integrate and grow their knowledge, thus becoming pioneers of a green paradigm through the sustainable development goals.

A program in which ideas and methods related to the themes of mitigation and adaptation to climate change, environment, society, technology, economy and health are integrated into a global vision. We propose a broad discussion of the innovative and sustainable reflex society that knows how to dialogue with the various players in the area through research, institutions, and citizen science.
