“Last year, RUDN University was in four categories for the sustainable development goals ‘Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions’, ‘Decent Work and Economic Growth’, ‘Good Health and Wellbeing’, ‘Partnership for the Goals’. This year we are represented in all 17 categories. In two categories we are in the top 100: ‘Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions’ ‘Decent Work and Economic Growth’. In particular, this became possible thanks to the research of RUDN University scientists and the university’s contribution to the achievement of the UN sustainable development goals”, said Oleg Yastrebov, Rector of RUDN University.
