The present contribution, going beyond the author’s previous general work on the topic
provides a panorama and an analysis of the performance of EU CEE-11 universities (universities
from the 11 Central and Eastern European Member States of the European Union) regarding
the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The analysis uses the results
of the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings that are available in five editions
(for the period 2019-2023). The present analysis focuses on the individual SDGs: it
provides a picture of which individual SDGs look to be the most strongly represented
in the performance of EU CEE-11 universities and which ones are less present in it.
Based on the results, we discuss the presence or the absence of specific patterns
regarding the individual SDGs in the case of the universities in the CEE region and
in the countries constituting it. Based on the findings of this analysis, proposals
for future actions are presented.
