Abstract

The present contribution, going beyond the author’s previous general work on the topic provides a panorama and an analysis of the performance of EU CEE-11 universities (universities from the 11 Central and Eastern European Member States of the European Union) regarding the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The analysis uses the results of the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings that are available in five editions (for the period 2019-2023). The present analysis focuses on the individual SDGs: it provides a picture of which individual SDGs look to be the most strongly represented in the performance of EU CEE-11 universities and which ones are less present in it. Based on the results, we discuss the presence or the absence of specific patterns regarding the individual SDGs in the case of the universities in the CEE region and in the countries constituting it. Based on the findings of this analysis, proposals for future actions are presented.
