As a book series, Higher Education and the SDGs will make an important contribution to accelerating delivery against the global goals. To start the series with the book on Partnerships for the Goals, possibly the most decisive SDG, makes perfect sense and is highly symbolic since accomplishing the sixteen other ones largely depends on cooperation and collaboration among all relevant stakeholders. This book impressively shows the important role of higher education in teaming up with actors from various other sectors to meet the ambitious aims of the Agenda 2030 collectively.
--Prof. Andreas KaplanThe book series Higher Education and the SDGs will make a valuable contribution to policy dialogue and higher education practices in achieving the SDGs. This first book in the series on Higher Education for Partnerships for the Goals highlights a range of partnerships, discusses some successful partnership cases and explore ways to enhance the impact of higher education partnerships to accelerate progress towards SDGs.
--Qudsia KalsoomThis is a timely book, which will provide a concrete support to the debate on SDG17 and on the actions which the higher education community should take in order to pursue its implementation.
