UE4SD

This organization is no longer active.

Background

Funded by the European Commission, The UE4SD sought to re-orient the higher education curriculum to address sustainable development. With a Consortium of 52 partners from 33 countries across Europe, this project focused on support for teaching colleagues, to enable them to prepare students, regardless of their courses or specialisation, to understand and apply their professional and global responsibilities in sustainability. The project included plans for university staff to develop professional competences and the academic leadership capabilities linked to Education for Sustainable Development. UE4SD sought to establish a leading expert group in Education for Sustainable Development in higher education in Europe and created a platform to combine and share the expertise of network partners so that they could inform policy and practice well beyond the life of the project.
