Abstract:
One of the main tasks of universities is to prepare students for an academic or
professional career, and to make them responsible members of society by giving
them the motivation and skills to create a better future. Education for Sustainable
Development is a core feature of education in a university of the 21th century and
in society. In a university, it has two aspects: firstly, to educate students and to
help future academics to contribute to sustainable development, secondly, to
contribute to sustainability and to spread education for sustainable development
in the community. We consider examples of successful cooperation between the
university and its stakeholders via projects that are relevant for education for
sustainable development. We analyse the success factors and the educational
and sustainability impacts of these projects.
