SDG-oriented impact assessment and stakeholder-driven prioritization within the broader transition towards climate-neutral, circular and resilient university campuses. is the second of 3 workshops and 2 onsite events organised in the frame of the Joint Call activity Circular Campus 2030. This first touchpoint is organised by Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, and  aims to provide participants with a methodological framework to identify, assess and prioritize sustainability impacts associated with campus transformation processes, while supporting evidence-based and technically feasible decision-making approaches.

Rather than focusing exclusively on isolated technological interventions, the workshop will explore how universities can develop integrated sustainability strategies based on measurable impacts, stakeholder engagement and data-informed prioritization methodologies.

University campuses will be analysed as complex living laboratories where infrastructure systems, mobility patterns, resource consumption, governance structures and community behaviours interact dynamically. Particular attention will be given to how sustainability interventions can be evaluated not only in terms of environmental performance, but also considering feasibility, social acceptance, resilience and long-term implementation potential.

The workshop will introduce key concepts related to:

– SDG-oriented campus transformation

– Systems thinking applied to university campuses

– Stakeholder mapping and engagement methodologies

– Sustainability impact identification and assessment

– Materiality analysis and prioritization frameworks

– Multi-criteria and indicator-based evaluation methods

– Data-driven sustainability decision-making processes

– Trade-off and synergy analysis between sustainability objectives

– Challenge-based innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration

Special attention will also be given to the role of stakeholder participation in campus transformation processes, including how students, academic staff, technical personnel, local authorities, service providers and local communities can influence sustainability priorities and implementation pathways. The workshop will explore how participatory governance and co-creation approaches can support more inclusive, feasible and impactful sustainability strategies.
