SDGs related to the built environment and their implementation are a central focus of SBE19 Graz and the SBE conference series. The rst conference day, the pre-conference, speci cally addresses the SDGs (especially SDG 11 and SDG 13) and the universities‘ role in achieving them. The aim of the day is to connect the D-A-CH countries in their efforts and learning from each other. Three workshops will provide possibilites to connect: the SDG workshop focussing on universities‘ contributions, the Climate Change Roundtable, and the SBE Roundtable discussing SDG11.
