for everyone.
Universities have enormous potential to help ensure the
SDGs are achieved by 2030. The 17 Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) include alleviating poverty, protecting the
environment, providing affordable and clean energy, fostering
innovation, building sustainable cities and communities, and
tackling climate change. The role of universities in sustainable
development extends beyond teaching and research. We also
contribute through our operations, governance, policy and
practice, and through partnerships and engagement with our
communities.
Achieving these goals requires action to be taken on a number

of levels. This includes equipping future leaders and innovators
with the knowledge to initiate change, executing research that
works with industry and community to find solutions to global
challenges, and ensuring our campuses are environmentally
sustainable and inclusive.
Throughout our global network, the University of Wollongong
works together with industry, research partners, governments,
communities and other universities to provide solutions to
society’s critical economic, environmental, social and health
challenges. UOW’s transformative work was recognised in the
Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings 2020,
where we were ranked 31st in the world based on our success
in delivering outcomes addressing the SDGs.

UOW’s SMART Infrastructure Facility is developing computer
system intelligence and technologies to assist with the
development of highly digitized, future factories – otherwise
known as ‘smart factories’.
Led by SMART, the Wollongong Digital Living Lab has also
transformed Wollongong into a ‘smart city’. The open, free-to-air
platform is accessible to the entire community to use for research
and to test Internet of Things (IoT) projects. The platform already
hosts a wide range of applications, from a shark alert app to a
map for firefighters to find hydrants quickly.
SMART’s IoT Hub is a dedicated research space for the
development of sensor and IoT technologies and is open to the
