Developed collaboratively by several Unite! partners, the Unite! Training Programme on Sustainability for Prospective Leaders consists of nine interconnected modules addressing key aspects of sustainability in higher education. The modules cover strategy and governance, energy and campus operations, sustainability monitoring and reporting, eco-design, green business models, sustainable mobility, lifelong learning, and sustainable energy management.
Delivered by professors and teachers from across the Unite! alliance, the programme combines theoretical foundations with practical tools, hands-on assignments, and real-world case studies from Unite! partner universities.
鈥淪ustainability at universities does not happen on its own. It requires conscious decisions, the courage to change, and people who can connect strategy with everyday practice. This course was created to support future leaders in implementing real change.鈥 鈥 Prof. Magdalena Bamborska-Naro偶ny
The course starts on 16 February and is delivered entirely online, allowing participants to combine learning with their daily professional and student responsibilities.
