Abstract: In achieving sustainable development goals, every society and person has the responsibility to attempt to eliminate poverty, protect the environment, and ensure that all people live in peace and prosperity. In order to fulfill this responsibility, it is necessary to organize activities to support sustainable development goals. When the increasing daily use of mobile technologies in education is considered, it is thought that these technologies exhibit important potential in raising awareness for sustainable development goals. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop, implement and evaluate a mobile application for the awareness of university students about sustainable development goals. As a result of this research, the developed mobile application had a positive effect on university students’ awareness of sustainable development goals, and students were glad to use the application.
