5. Project description
Provide a short description of the project including strategies, regional challenges, aims and specific project activities.: 

The research project is done in cooperation with, RCE Hamburg, RCE Bretagne RCE middle Albania partners and 
Center for Development Research (ZEF), University of Bonn. It gives an overview of the current involvement of RCEs for the implementation of SDGs. 

The implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the achievement of the 17
Sustainable Development Goals requires a fully integrated approach between sectors, disciplines,
countries, and actors. On the fourth year of its implementation, the uptake of SDGs from non-state actors
is increasing around the world, by developing engaging mechanisms for involvement at horizontal and
vertical level. Considering that activation of existing partnerships is important for SDGs, in conjunction
with creating new ones, this research has analysed the approach of global network of Regional Centers of
Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development. An overview of involvement is done based on a
survey data, by exploring collaboration in local, national and international scale. Through Hierarchical
Classification Analysis, the networks are grouped into clusters with similar characteristics and discussions
include challenges and potentialities for intensifying the contribution towards the 2030 Agenda.
