Who We Are

Public Health, Wellbeing and Human Prosperity
Climate Change, Sustainability and Resilience
Entrepreneurship
and Inclusive Innovation
Crime, Conflict,
and
Corruption
Technology and Innovation for Education
Collaborations through the Hemispheric University Consortium are based on the shared recognition of the pressing developmental challenges that confront our societies and the consequent imperative that the members jointly reflect, align and act upon the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030.
