Abstract:

 Higher education is currently facing two major challenges. The first challenge concerns the emergence of the knowledge society and the second challenge the widely acknowledged need to achieve sustainable development locally and globally. To be able to participate in today’s society and contribute to sustainable development successfully, new competences are needed to addressing sustainability. In this paper, we present the development and validation of an ESD student competence framework. This work is part of a European Tempus initiative entitled “Reorient University Curricula to address Sustainability” (RUCAS).
