Useful resources for Advancing the Social Mission of Universities

Welcome to the resource hub of the Think Tank for the Social Mission of Universities (TTSMU), an initiative led by the SGroup – Universities in Europe network. This platform showcases a collection of valuable resources that have been developed based on contributions from SGroup member universities. These resources are designed to help universities integrate their social mission into their internationalization strategies, fostering greater global impact through higher education.

 

Our Resource Collection

The resources provided here highlight innovative approaches to addressing societal challenges, promoting social responsibility, and enhancing global citizenship. These contributions offer practical insights and examples of how universities can align their academic and international initiatives with a broader commitment to the social good.
