Université Côte d'Azur's ODD 16

SDG 16 aims to promote peaceful and inclusive societies, ensure access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels. This is a crucial objective, as peace, justice and solid institutions are the foundations of sustainable development. SDG 16 encompasses a wide range of issues, from reducing violence and crime to fighting corruption, strengthening the rule of law and protecting human rights. In short, this goal aims to create a safe and equitable environment where everyone can live in dignity and contribute to the progress of their community.

MDG 16, "Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development", aims to build societies where peace, justice and inclusion prevail. Université Côte d'Azur, aware of the importance of these issues, is actively engaged in the search for solutions to strengthen social cohesion and promote sustainable development.

Université Côte d'Azur conducts multidisciplinary research on issues of social justice, governance, conflict and peace. The University's researchers study the root causes of inequality, develop tools to prevent conflict and strengthen social cohesion, and contribute to the training of responsible, committed citizens. Through its work, the University helps to enlighten public debate and inform political decision-makers.

Based on its research, it trains future players in civil society and professionals in the public and private sectors, equipping them to meet the challenges of a constantly changing world.
