Sapienza is at the national top of the 2021 Times Higher Education Supplement (THE) rankings on universities' commitment to sustainability and is the Italian leader for two sustainable development goals: SDG8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG14 - Life below Water.

The Times Higher Education Impact 2021, published on April 21, 2021, gives our University an overall score of 81.2 points, up from 76.6 in 2020, in the 101-200 range, the same as last year, behind the University of Bologna and the University of Padua. Overall, Sapienza is among the first 100 positions in the general ranking for 5 goals, an improvement compared to the 2 goals of last year, namely for the SDG8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG7 - Affordable and Clean Energy, SDG5 - Gender Equality, SDG14 - Life below Water, SDG10 - Reduced Inequalities.

The result of Sapienza and Italian universities is all the more significant considering that this year's ranking examines 1,115 universities worldwide against the 766 universities included in the 2020 ranking.
