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**.
