Abstract

The objective of the paper is to present the results of secondary research on the connection between the innovativeness of European universities and their impact on the Sustainable Development Goals. The methodology is the correlation analysis of the combined data retrieved from publicly available lists. The hypotheses, that for the universities both factors should be in focus, moreover more innovative universities might have stronger contributions to the SDGs, this research was not able to prove. This is not in line with previous research about the correlation of innovation and sustainability. As any diversity, this raised the question of why, for which some answers were found. As some of the lists the research was based on are self-reporting ones, one of the factors can be, that universities do not yet consider it important to be part of the lists. For the society and for the economy it would be useful to have more precise information about the universities’ impact on the SDGs, which can be achieved by having more and more accurate data from the universities and/or the creation of more descriptive indicators, which illustrates the relationship of the two factors better, is a possibility. The originality of the research is that to my best knowledge no other research was yet on the relation of these two indicators of the European universities, although because of the limited data, a new analysis was implemented based on Google searches. The results are still not convincing that innovation and sustainability are connected at the universities
