Our Project

Vietnam’s SDG Index falling amid challenging global context. Events of the past few years have affected Vietnam’s efforts to implement the Sustainable Development Goals. A lack of consistency in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the 
context of unpredictable developments in the global economy and the Covid-19 pandemic continuing to affect the economy haveresulted in Vietnam’s SDG Index being downgraded. Sustainability has become a pressing need and inexorable trend in the development process for Vietnam. To demonstrate Vietnam’s commitment, the then Vietnamese Prime Minister promulgated the National Action Plan for the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda in Decision No.622/QD-TTg dated May 10, 2017. The country then developed a set of 17 sustainable development goals based on the UN’s SDGs in a spirit of “leaving no one behind”. 
As a result, according to SDG Index, Vietnam has posted certain progress since 2015, ranking 68th in the Sustainable Development Index in 2017 and 49th in 2020.

However, the situation in Vietnam has been deteriorating, and the study of sustainable development is particularly urgent in the country, as it had bounced back to 55th position in 2022. In this context, the project team of EU4Sustainability is applying for this project to provide the cognitive tools to higher education students to understand better the EU as a global promotor of sustainable 
development.

1) Teaching activities led to the development and delivery of five JM Module courses. 
2) Research activities that result in the publication of scientific articles on the JM Module's topic. 
3) Activities aimed at disseminating information that would lead to the convening of conferences open to civil society and relevant stakeholders.

OBEJCTIVE 1: to spread knowledge about EU subjects to students and wider society bringing the EU closer to the public through the dissemination events that will be developed in the framework of the Jean 
Monnet module.

Indicator for measuring achievement: Number of stakeholders reached during the event, number of events organized, feedback from the participants after the participation in those events.
 
OBEJCTIVE 2: to promote the European studies to a public with limited knowledge about the European Union and its functioning, developing an interdisciplinary program combining different subject areas (history, political science, law and economics) applied to the study of  sustainable development 
dynamics.
