The Urban Research and Development Center (URDC) at Eastern Mediterranean University plays a strategic role in advancing sustainability across the campus and beyond. Through research, institutional collaboration, and evidence-based planning, URDC actively supports the University’s commitment to environmental responsibility, social inclusion, and long-term resilience.

As an engaged member of the University’s SDGs community, the Center works closely with academic units, research centers, and administrative bodies to ensure that sustainability principles are embedded within planning processes, campus development strategies, and community engagement activities.

URDC also serves as the key contributor to the preparation of the University’s Sustainability Reports. By coordinating data collection, facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration, and aligning institutional actions with global sustainability frameworks, the Center supports transparent reporting and continuous improvement.
