This book fills an important gap in the literature, and presents
contributions from scientists and researchers working in the field
of sustainable development who have engaged in dynamic approaches
to implementing sustainability in higher education. It is widely
known that universities are key players in terms of the
implementation and further development of sustainability, with some
having the potential of acting as "living labs" in this rapidly
growing field. Yet there are virtually no publications that explore
the living labs concept as it relates to sustainability, and in an
integrated manner. The aims of this book, which is an outcome of
the "4th World Symposium on Sustainable Development at
Universities" (WSSD-U-2018), held in Malaysia in 2018, are as
follows: i. to document the experiences of universities from all
around the world in curriculum innovation, research, activities and
practical projects as they relate to sustainable development at the
university level; ii. to disseminate information, ideas and
experiences acquired in the execution of projects, including
successful initiatives and good practice; iii. to introduce and
discuss methodological approaches and projects that seek to
integrate the topic of sustainable development in the curricula of
universities; and iv. to promote the scalability of existing and
future models from universities as living labs for sustainable
development. The papers are innovative, cross-cutting and many
reflect practice-based experiences, some of which may be replicable
elsewhere. Also, this book, prepared by the Inter-University
Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP) and the World
Sustainable Development Research and Transfer Centre (WSD-RTC),
reinforces the role played by universities as living labs for
sustainable development.
