“…For example, there is a 3D virtual reality educational environment for entrepreneurship where users are represented as avatars, and they have the ability to move within the world in a similar manner to the real world [23]. Other examples are a tool designed to support collaborative learning within the frame of transdisciplinary projects between universities and business partners or a 10-day summer school to develop initial business plans [24,25]. Among the actions to improve graduate employability, the activities focused on transmission of skills required for employment (which includes training in entrepreneurship and self-employment) received the highest rating by 230 deans surveyed from Spanish universities [26].…”

How can higher education increase the employability of university students? We present a case study on an innovative training itinerary aimed to promote the participation of teaching staff to stimulate the creativity of students and enhance their employability skills. Students acquire the entrepreneurship competences by applying the problem-solving methodology to their innovative projects based on sustainable development. The participation in the contest shows a growing importance, with topics ranging from the more technical ones, such as nutrition innovation, science innovation, or sustainability, to the social projects, related to social services, inclusion, or services against gender violence, harassment, and bullying. The percentage of multidisciplinary teams increased from 38% in 2015 to 76% in 2019 and even more in finalist teams, a positive trend in improving soft skills. According to some testimonies, the acquisition of these entrepreneurship competences partially compensates for students’ lack of professional experience by enriching their curriculum vitae (CV) and, for some students, lays the groundwork for establishing a real business after their participation in the contest.

“…It is suggested that a transfer to other areas, for example the further education of employees of companies by universities, is conceivable. Ambros und Biberhofer [26], on the other hand, investigate the use of a knowledge platform for sustainability-driven entrepreneurship. Dong et al [27] present a platform for academic knowledge discovery.…”

Platforms have determined the interaction and actions of many players for years. They have established themselves as leading business models in both the business-tobusiness and business-to-customer sectors. But not only companies use platforms. Increasingly, universities are also using platform models to generate value. This article uses a systematic literature review to examine 1289 publications in this area and classifies them in a concept matrix of the use of platforms in higher education to date. It shows that some areas of universities use platforms and platform ecosystems. The area of teaching benefits greatly from Massive Open Online Courses, which are provided on well-known platforms. Other areas, such as transfer or research, are underrepresented.

“…Herein, it is understood that a knowledgeable, skilled, committed, responsive, and responsible citizenship would have a decisive role in the realization of HESD goals [130]. Secondly, universities cater to needs of multiple stakeholders by deploying various resources [131]. Universities consume copious amounts of both renewable and non-renewable resources, thus placing significant responsibility on universities to use these resources effectively and efficiently (eco-efficiency) to fulfil the needs of present generations, without comprising the stake of future generations.…”

Imperatives of Sustainable University Excellence: A Conceptual Framework

et al. 2019

This study envisions the architecture of a modern era university with sustainable standards of excellence. Sustainable University Excellence is herein defined as the ability of a university to excel in the core areas of knowledge creation and dissemination via the mobilization of human, social, intellectual, and financial capital to serve on socioeconomic and environmental fronts ethically, efficiently, and effectively to secure a sustainable future. Seven core performance domains of a university are explored: Teaching quality, research culture, technological capability building, accessibility, community engagement, internationalization, and environment, which should be prioritize in order to continuously advance along a sustainable excellence continuum. This study provides a self-assessment methodology that universities can employ to compare their performance relative to the aforementioned domains, thus enabling the identification of performance gaps, the knowledge of which is crucial to the formulation of more targeted strategy. This approach allows decision makers to form a more coherent vision for sustainability within institutional and broader contexts. The approach proposed herein incorporates the three aspects of sustainability that form the so-called Triple Bottom Line (TBL).
