About the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) category

This sub-category focuses on how sustainability is embedded into education, curricula, and student learning. It is the space for sharing approaches, frameworks, and resources that build knowledge, skills, and values for sustainable futures.

Topics may include:

  • Embedding sustainability into university curricula and course design

  • Student-led initiatives and co-creation of teaching resources

  • Alignment with UN SDGs, QAA/Advance HE guidance, and national expectations

  • Integration of research sustainability into student learning pathways

  • Examples of innovative teaching practices and Living Lab approaches

This category is distinct from Training & Professional Development, which focuses on staff capacity-building. ESD is centred on students and the academic curriculum.
