This volume (edited by Jessica G. Schwengber, Tobias Grünfelder and Josef Wieland) is the result of the Transcultural Student Research Group 2022, a project conducted by the Transcultural Caravan at the Leadership Excellence Institute Zeppelin at Zeppelin University (Germany) in collaboration with the University of Lodz (Poland), the Vietnamese German, University (Vietnam), the Fulbright University (Vietnam) and the HTWG Konstanz (Germany).

The book is an exploration of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a focus on the application and implications of such goals in Vietnam. It provides an in depth look at the challenges and opportunities facing this country and region, as well as the potential for collaboration and progress. The aims of the project were to foster research on the topic of the SDGs in SEA (especially in Vietnam) while also providing a transcultural learning experience for the young researchers involved. This book contributes to the academic debate on the SDGs and how different sectors can work together to achieve them. It highlights the need for transcultural research and partnerships across different sectors in order to create sustainable solutions that benefit everyone.
