“…According to Dryjanska et al (2022), in Croatia, and notwithstanding reforms, the education system still needs to be better aligned with social innovation and sustainable development. However, the country has been moving towards an education model at university level focused on transforming courses to introduce service learning, that is, aimed at responding to a specific social problem, rooted in specific social-physical contexts (Holst, 2022).…”

The establishment of partnerships between universities and communities can significantly support the implementation of initiatives related to sustainability as a whole and help to realize some of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Despite the usefulness of mapping of partnerships, there is a perceived necessity for studies, which may shed some light on these interactions, and the many advantages they offer. Against this background, this paper reports on a study which has assessed the extent to which partnerships between universities and communities may assist in achieving the SDGs. Methodologically, by means of a bibliometric analysis and the use of a set of enlightening case studies, the paper introduces some of the partnerships being implemented today and draws the lessons learned, which may be helpful in future initiatives. A total of eight initiatives are presented and discussed during the paper. The results suggest that more joint efforts are needed, as part of efforts to accelerate the implementation of the SDGs at the university level, including a list of measures that Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) could apply to address those goals. Overall, this research contributes to the sustainability area by providing empirical evidence, insights, and recommendations for fostering partnerships between universities and communities. It adds to the existing body of knowledge and understanding of how collaborative efforts can contribute to sustainable development and the achievement of the SDGs.

“…As stated by (Zulaykha Khurshid Dijoo & Rizwana Khurshid, 2022), environmental degradation is caused by human activities such as industrialization and urbanization, therefore research and implementation of green technologies can help mitigate environmental degradation. In science, the duty to be a role model in sustainable practices is crucial because education and innovation intersect (Laura Dryjanska et al, 2022). Recognizing its duty, the Informatics Engineering Laboratory at Pontianak State Polytechnic (POLNEP) is working to integrate the latest technological breakthroughs into its energy management systems.…”

Efficient energy management remains a challenge in university laboratories. The aim of this study is to develop and deploy an Internet of Things (IoT) system that can automatically adjust electronic devices to improve the efficiency of power consumption in the university laboratory. An advanced system is urgently needed to support sustainable and effective energy management. A smart IoT-based energy management system can improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and reduce negative environmental impacts. The system enables both human and automated control of lighting and air conditioning using scheduling and occupancy detection. This development-based research uses a product design methodology that includes both software and hardware. The software product in this research is an IoT platform website for managing IoT devices. The essential processes include defining project goals and requirements, designing a system architecture, creating a user experience design, developing and integrating components, and conducting tests. The system is successful in automatically monitoring and controlling electronic devices based on certain parameters such as scheduling and presence detection. The system meets most of the specified functional and non-functional requirements as demonstrated in experiments, although it is somewhat limited by hardware limitations. Ultimately, the system increases the energy efficiency of the laboratory and thus successfully fulfills the research goal. This innovative project could be a blueprint for other smart energy control efforts.

“…One of elements in addressing these challenges is the crucial role played by universities worldwide. Universities have the potential to serve as centers of innovation, knowledge, and advocacy in the effort to achieve sustainable development [12][13]. Universities possess the capacity to generate in-depth and relevant scientific research in various fields related to sustainability, from environmental science to social economics [14].…”

This paper discusses how UI GreenMetric and sustainability publications interact to strengthen universities’ contributions to global sustainability. It examines data from six universities, including Wageningen University & Research (Netherlands), Universitas Indonesia (Indonesia), Universitas Diponegoro (Indonesia), University of Malaya (Malaysia), Universitas Airlangga (Indonesia), and Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Indonesia), linking UI GreenMetric rankings with sustainability-related publications. Results in the 2022 UI GreenMetric Rankings show that Wageningen University & Research secured the top position, with an average of 2395 sustainability-related publications in the last three years and 3221 publications from Elsevier. Universitas Indonesia has 4725 total publications from Elsevier and 1525 publications related to sustainability from UI GreenMetric data. Other universities, such as Universitas Diponegoro, University of Malaya, Universitas Airlangga, and Universitas Negeri Surabaya, also showcased their commitment to sustainability through their publication records. This study concludes that higher-ranked universities tend to produce more sustainability-focused publications, indicating a positive relationship between sustainability commitment and research impact. Institutions with elevated UI GreenMetric rankings consistently prioritize sustainability, increasing research productivity in this field.
