Higher Education and Sustainable Development of Universities

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will comprise a selection of papers addressing training of future professionals in sustainability in the university. University education plays an important role in promoting environmentally responsible citizenship. In addition to generating knowledge, it is also responsible for training future professionals within the framework of sustainability.

Higher education and other in-service training systems need to be reviewed to establish basic student competences in sustainability, as well as to analyze which pedagogic/didactic methodologies are the most appropriate to improve such competences.

This Special Issue focuses on studies evaluating and analyzing the relationship between ESD and student university training. Authors from different disciplines related to sustainable development issues are invited to submit their papers.
