“…HEIs have been attempting to redirect their actions and frame policies to deliver sustainable results in the area of education and research (Zainordin, and Ismail, 2018) These HEIs act as prime enablers of sustianble practices in the area of teaching, research, co-curricular activities and other institution related services, thus supporting the "United Nations Education Program Agenda (UNEPA)" through policies and action plans. These agendas keep universities committed towards achieving excellance by framing policies and action plans that tend to support sustainability in HE (Geryk, 2018).…”

Sustainability in Higher Education (SHE) has been tagged as an emerging topic of concern among the research community and higher education institutions over the past decade. This paper aims to investigate the existing body of knowledge related to the SHE assessment tools, methods, data collection sources, reporting systems, methods used for rating and categories of broadening indicators using a combined bibliometric and exhaustive thematic investigations. This paper also aims at investigating the intellectual structure in the SHE field of knowledge using journal co-citation analysis, author co-citation analysis, and bibliographic coupling with the software VOSviewer. This study provides the research community with a comprehensive platform for expanding future research, highlighting the intellectual structure in the SHE assessment and implementation.

In the panorama of international strategies and commitments to sustainability, education is central to the pursuit of sustainable development. Educational institutions at all levels are playing a new role in promoting values and ideals linked to sustainable behavioral models. These models can face the complexity of reality in a cooperative, active and responsible way, leading to a vision for solidarity and progress. In this context, universities face huge challenges. They must recognize the changes happening in society and change accordingly. Universities are therefore increasingly required to actively introduce attitudes and behaviors that favor sustainable development and involve the entire academic community in this process. This paper aims to define the role of universities in sustainable development. As well as training professionals, their roles and responsibilities mean that they strongly influence the societies in which they operate. To become sustainable and ensure that their respective territories follow suit, universities must change internally and initiate systemic processes to engage all members of their communities. Moreover, dynamic bottom-up models of learning and dissemination of environmental sustainability and social responsibility should aim to encourage students to be active inside and outside their universities. After a detailed literature review, this paper explores how sustainable development should be used in educational paths as well as didactic activities to influence the way students think, act and engage within their academic communities. Based on the objective of this work, the case of the Tor Vergata University of Rome is used to describe the results of the active change.

“…Education for sustainable development has now become one of the most critical challenges of the UN and the EU (UNESCO, 2007;UNESCO, 2009;Leicht et al, 2018;UNESCO, 2020;Geryk, 2018;Nizinska & Kurantowicz, 2019;Alcantud-Diaz, 2021;Leal Filho et al, 2021). The targets to be pursued in this education are to integrate principles, values and practices around sustainable development (SD) in all aspects of education and training.…”

Education for sustainable development is still developing as a broad and comprehensive concept that includes related content on the environment, economy and society. Key issues of sustainable development include, among others, economic issues, production and consumption models, natural resource management, environmental protection, development models, poverty reduction, civic rights, democracy, governance etc. These issues are very diverse and require a holistic approach to teaching. The objective of this article is to diagnose and evaluate the current state of education for sustainable development in Polish higher education institutions, with particular emphasis on the EU in Katowice and to identify the directions of change. This article was written based on the Authors’ many years of scientific and teaching experience. It was also supported by a survey conducted in the year 2020/2021 among the students at the University of Economics in Katowice, which allowed them to identify directions for future educational activities.
