24 May 2024 – María J. Cantalejo Díez, Professor at the Public University of Navarra (UPNA) and coordinator of the co-funded Erasmus+ project NEMOS, will give a presentation on How to transfer the sustainability competences through green pedagogies and service-learning at the 12th International Conference on Sustainable Development – ICSD 2024, on 12 September 2024 in Rome, Italy.
In particular, UPNA’s presentation will focus on the final project result of NEMOS, consisting in practical sessions held to train university lecturers who teach in different degrees to effectively integrate sustainability in higher education.
The International Conference on Sustainable Development is organized by the European Center of Sustainable Development in collaboration with the Canadian Institute of Technology – CIT. ICSD 2024 is inspired by the critical challenge of human, environmental, and economic sustainability concerning the present and future generations in a global-scale context.
The Conference theme will be Creating a unified foundation for the Sustainable Development: research, practice and education, aimed at emphasising the strong foundation that is provided by using research to inform our everyday practices, policies, and analytical approaches.
The 2024 edition will once again provide a forum for sharing ideas, presenting research findings, and discussing professional issues that are relevant to Sustainability Science. This ambition will proceed in a multidisciplinary way across various fields and perspectives, through which we can address the fundamental and related questions of Sustainable Development.
This interdisciplinary forum welcomes scholars, teachers, and practitioners from any professional discipline who share an interest in—and concern for— sustainability in a holistic perspective, where environmental, cultural, economic and social concerns intersect.
About the NEMOS Project
The NEMOS project acknowledges sustainability as an increasingly crucial skill for graduate and post-graduate students to tackle important global challenges such as climate change, food waste and the loss of biodiversity in their professional future. Therefore, the project aims to define a new educational model to integrate sustainability competences in the curricula of food-related degrees by means of service learning.
Co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, the NEMOS project is led by the Public University of Navarra and includes the following consortium partners: Technological University Dublin (Ireland); Technological University Graz (Austria); Rhône-Alpes Higher Institute of Agriculture (France); University of Pisa (Italy); and IGCAT.
