New Frontiers for University Leaders: The Future of Health and the University Ecosystem

Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss

“[The] strong pressure, felt in different areas of socio-economic, political and cultural life, challenges the very vocation of the university. This is especially the case for those who are called to teach, conduct research and prepare new generations to become not only qualified professionals in various disciplines, but also proponents of the common good, creative and responsible leaders in social and civil life, equipped with a proper vision of the person and the world. Universities today, then, need to consider what contribution they can and must make to the integral health of the person and to an inclusive ecology.” On the issue of corporate social responsibility, FJCU collaborated with the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TAISE) to put in place measures pertaining to sustainable development, heightening public awareness with regard to how businesses are fulfilling their corporate social responsibilities and sustainable development goals.
