In the ranking, in which 1,498 universities are assessed, UniME stands out among the 16 Italian universities ranked for this objective.
'This is an award for the great work that our University is doing to make a concrete contribution to sustainable development and the promotion of the 2030 Agenda goals', said the Rector, Prof. Giovanna Spatari.
