……………………………………………………………..

GUNI has launched a Call for Good Practices in the framework of the 5th International Barcelona Conference on Higher Education, Higher Education’s Commitment to Sustainability: from Understanding to Action held at the ‘Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya’ (UPC) from 23 to 26 November 2010.

The Call for Good Practices aims to make connections between the key ideas being examined in the Conference and good practices taking place ´on the ground´. It offers an exciting and unique opportunity for every sector of higher education to participate in, and demonstrating how, higher education institutions can lead the way to sustainability.

Several universities have included sustainability courses in their curriculum, dedicated resources to sustainability research and centre development, while others also have bolstered their connection to the community by participating in local problem-solving, becoming a laboratory of ideas that includes a responsible management of material and human resources. The Call for Good Practices encourages all HEIs and individuals to share these and other similar experiences on sustainability.

GUNI looks for good practices in the following thematic lines: Curricula Innovation and Learning Processes; Research; Social and Community Engagement; and Institutional Management and Operations.

The deadline of the submission of good practices is 31 May 2010.
