Abstract

This chapter describes how nine peripheral universities located far away from the center of their countries launched a consortium that focused on a particular set of sustainability-related practices. The consortium has been one of the four alliances funded in the European Union Call for European Universities in 2022. This alliance was built out of the conviction that these universities can serve their communities, students, territories, and planet by working together to scale up and promote our sustainability and SDG-related activity. The name of the alliance is EU GREEN: University Alliance for Sustainability: Responsible GRowth, Inclusive Education and Environment. “GREEN” is a term that covers sustainability and reflects their mission to contribute to a more rightful society, equalized economy, and sustainable environment. This chapter will describe the method and tools used to relate the different stages and spheres of the creation process of the alliance that will be based on sustainability and address the major societal challenges identified in the 17 SDGs of the UN 2030 Agenda. The results will suggest recommendations for potential new networks that will navigate the challenging journey to becoming a European University Alliance.
