University of Newcastle shines in Times Higher Education Impact Rankings

THE University of Newcastle has placed 30th out of 1406 institutions in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, which measures contributions to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

UON received an overall score of 93.8, including a score of 99.7 for the Partnership for the Goals SDG.

Pro Vice-Chancellor Academic Excellence Jennifer Milam said UON was in Australia's top five for 10 of the 17 SDGs, including number one for Zero Hunger and Partnerships for the Goals.

"We know that initiatives like introducing 100 per cent renewable energy and committing to being carbon neutral by 2025 have strongly resonated with our students and with our communities," she said.

"We include sustainability principles in our values, research, teaching and the facilities we provide, and these results show how widely ingrained these principles are in our work."
