The BME Department ensures the participation of KNURE in the Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings for sustainable development.
Therefore, an interesting experience was the participation in the Times Higher Education forum, dedicated to health issues, took place on July 7-8 online https://www.timeshighered-events.com/impact-health-forum-2021/home
Health and well-being are fundamental human rights and key indicators of sustainable development.
Poor health threatens access to education and work, increases poverty, and limits personal and economic development. It is both a key cause and a result of poverty. In partnership with RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, the Times Higher Education Forum brought together university leaders and experts from around the world to exchange research ideas and solutions to address key health issues that affect human development outcomes. Collaboration in health care is essential for sustainable development in the growing health care market, as well as for the improvement and diversification of its resources. Effective collaboration between higher education and society can lead to lasting transformational change and support progress towards achieving SDG 3.
Forum topics were:
Health Research and Innovation;
Global collaboration and the future of health;
Building sustainable societies.
The forum also raised questions about how universities are using the latest technology to research and create the next generation of wellness solutions. Examples were given of universities using the latest technology to transform, learn and share research in order to tackle global risks and achieve SDRs.
Also at the event, Duncan Ross, THE Director of Data and Analytics, gave a masterclass and an overview of Impact Rankings methodology with a focus on SDG 3: Strong Health.
