ALCAEUS is an ACPUA internacional evaluation protocol that measures the degree of commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals.
The main objective of the 2030 certification of centres and/or universities awarded by the ALCAEUS programme is to give visibility to the efforts that institutions are making to comply with the SDGs set out in the United Nations 2030 Agenda. The process involves the award of a seal that establishes four levels of certification based on the score obtained in the assessment.
ALCAEUS is a voluntary programme aimed at faculties, schools, centres and national and international research institutes that have a certificate of implementation of their Internal Quality Assurance System (PACE-SGIC programme of the ACPUA, AUDIT of the ANECA, ISO 9001:2015, EFQM model, others...).
In 2022, two centres of the University of Zaragoza were certified. Specifically, the Higher Polytechnic School of Huesca reached a firm commitment to the 2030 Agenda, extending its certification until 2028.
At the start of the 2025-26 academic year, the centre is publicising the different activities carried out within the framework of the programme in its media.
