Abstract

This chapter elicits ideas on the problem of embedding Sustainability in HE and approaches based on the collaboration among academia and other stakeholders in the industry, policy, and social sectors. In this chapter, two case studies, one on participatory design and another one on the triple helix theory are explained as valid routes for the incorporation of such an evolving theme into HE.
