As an institution of higher education participating in the United Nations Academic Impact initiative, Sophia University organizes “Sophia University United Nations Weeks,” which started in Academic Year 2014, every year in early June and late October, around United Nations Day (October 24).

With the concept “To consider our world and the future through U.N activities,” various events and projects are held including international symposia, lectures, photo exhibitions and movie shows.

These events and projects are opened to our students as well as to the public and every time we have a large audience of working people and high school students. Since Academic Year 2016, we have put great efforts into holding lectures and symposia on SDGs.
