SUMMARY:

Higher education institutions (HEIs) are designated as important actors in the process of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda. As agents of knowledge, HEIs maintain a critical role in collaboration for a socially just, economically viable and environmentally sustainable world. As a general objective, this dissertation aims to understand how the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda are being incorporated into higher education institutions, analyzing in publications and research the initiatives, barriers and experiences of universities that are aligning with the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda. In the light of this context, the specific objectives of this work include a compilation of published articles on the theme that sought: i)  to understand the role of HEIs in the implementation of the SDGs, through a systematic review of the literature, identifying case studies of universities that are aligning with the theme;  ii) identify, through a bibliometric study, how the SDGs are being addressed in the publications of Brazilian theses and dissertations; and finally iii) how Brazilian federal universities are incorporating and disseminating the SDGs, highlighting successful initiatives that reflect alignment with the 2030 Agenda. From the adoption of a systematic review of the literature, a bibliometric study and empirical research with federal public universities, it was possible to gather a large balance of results. These analyses consisted of a first effort to survey and share the situation of the knowledge about the existence of the 2030 Agenda, this being research that contributes to foster dialogue and improve experiences that should be a guide to modify this reality. All studies and analyses indicate that there is still a trajectory to be traced, mainly because higher education institutions act on their own, without effective coordination of actions. It was also possible to identify the temporal evolution of research, the areas and institutions that stand out the most, as well as the SDGs that have been more addressed in theses and dissertations, pointing out that this process needs to be more driven by institutions, encouraging master's and doctoral students to reflect how their research impact and influence the SDGs. All elements and results have been structured in different dimensions, providing fundamental information on how HEIs can implement the SDGs and how the SDGs contribute to the development of these institutions, highlighting the priority role that the university acquires in achieving these global objectives.
