About ASU Centers for Sustainable Development
From the onset, the Applied Science Private University (ASU) recognized the importance and benefits of aligning its operational and educational activities with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The commitment to the UN SDGs started to become more organized when ASU formed its Sustainable Development Steering Committee (SDSC) in 2018 with the main task to map the UN SDGs into the existing ‘business-as-usual’ activities of the university, and to also support the future-plans of integrating the SDGs as a framework for ASU’s strategic planning. Throughout its journey, and long before the emergence of the UN SDGs, ASU established a wide range of training and education centers, known as ASU Centers, to support its mission in contributing to the social, economic and environmental development of the country and the region.
