Abstract
The aim in this study was to identify the expectations of the academic community about the contributions of a Brazilian public university regarding the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To accomplish it, we conduct a survey with staff, faculty members and students. We also verified the level of knowledge of the academic community about SDGs, and the different levels of engagement of the respondents with the themes surrounding the SDGs, and their reflections on the expectations of the contribution of this university in this area. We had 796 valid responses and conducted multivariate statistics analysis to test the hypotheses. The evidence demonstrated that engagement may be more relevant in terms of expectations towards SDGs. We hope this study can serve as benchmarking and assist in setting institutional policy priorities, developing action plans, communicating, and disseminating sustainability goals and practices in universities.
