As part of its mission to promote socially responsible and sustainability-oriented entrepreneurship in higher education, the IMPACT ACADEMY project has released a new Self-Assessment Tool. This open-access resource is designed to support students, educators, and early-stage entrepreneurs in evaluating how their project ideas align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It enables users to assess the potential social, environmental, and ethical dimensions of their initiatives, and to identify areas for improvement or adjustment.

The Self-Assessment Tool supports users in examining how their project ideas integrate impact awareness, ethical considerations, and long-term social or environmental relevance. It does not produce a mere score or ranking, but it serves as a reflective framework that can be used in classroom settings, mentoring programmes, innovation labs, or independent study.

It is particularly suitable for:
•    Entrepreneurship and business planning courses
•    Sustainability and innovation modules
•    Project-based learning or capstone projects
•    Workshops, hackathons, or incubation settings

The Tool is available in multiple formats, including an interactive online version and a downloadable PDF guide. It is accompanied by practical resources such as examples, worksheets, and step-by-step instructions, making it easy to integrate into higher education and training contexts. Educators, students, and trainers can use it flexibly across disciplines and learning formats, both in formal and non-formal education settings.
