Glocality is a student-faculty-run multidisciplinary undergraduate academic journal which offers students from universities around the world a serious scientific tool to share their knowledge with the rest of the scholarly community worldwide. Glocality aims to promote academic and scientific applied research that explores the relationship between global and local and create critical glocal thinking to deal with the challenges ahead of us. We aim to create young schools of thought and develop innovative approaches, solutions and technologies for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Therefore, we welcome and acknowledge papers from undergraduate students who bring more insight to sustainable development not only for the academic community but also for practitioners. Our goals are to:
· introduce students into research disciplines and the publishing process
· encourage undergraduates to write at an academic level
· make the results of undergraduate research accessible to everyone
· include voices across all disciplines in a multimedia format
· create a glocal community of scholars who contribute to the knowledge society
