Presentation by : Corinne Stewart, AgroSup Dijon, France
Sustainable development at the heart of a new approach:
Innovation in teaching in life sciences in Europe
In the beginning a Tempus III project (2007-2009), coordinated by AgroSup Dijon (formerly ENESAD) resulted in the publication of a manual on sustainable development
« Introduction of the concept of sustainable development in the training of agricultural specialists »
Study cases from a Franco-Czech-Ukrainian consortium :
- Bila Tsverkva National Agrarian University, Ukraine;- Kirovograd National Technical University, Ukraine;- Czech University of Life Sciences, Prague;- AgroSup Dijon
Later the creation of the “ISLE” network
39 institutions from 30 different countries
interested in introducing the concept of
Sustainable Development
in their curricula and in the management of their institutions
by sharing and exchanging know how and good practices
between each other.
Necessity to build and strengthen cooperation between
HEI’s and civil society / companies
Project over 3 years (2010-3013)

Transfer between Professors, Researchers and Students
Teaching the concept of Sustainable Development using an integrated and transversal approach;
Adjusting curricula is necessary;
Simultaneously inventing new ways to address the various disciplines.
Input of the project :
State of the Art at a European level;
Compilation of a first best practices compendium.
Transfer between HEI’s, Entreprises and Civil Society
I.S.L.E network is at the heart of this issue
and proposes to provide innovative solutions in order to :
reply to the work market demand,
meet with the needs of companies seeking solutions related to sustainable development;
exploit cross-fertilization to identify the needs linked with Sustainable Development by setting up a "Professionalization Fair" in Lisbon in November 2011
HEI's play already a crucial role, especially at local level, when it comes to establishing synergies with enterprises
A few examples:
"EcoTroFood” project :
helps SMEs wishing to participate in the development and marketing of projects awarded by ECOTROPHELIA, at national and European level;
www.trophelia.fr
"Qualivivant” programme :
a R&D project lead by Vitagora, a cluster based in Dijon, dedicated to taste, nutrition and health;
www.vitagora.com
Importance of collective structures
ISLE network or HEI’s
- highlight the need for collective decisions
- offer their knowledge and support
Through special programmes like "RUDECO" Tempus IV project (Vocational Training in Rural Development and Ecology) :
led by the University of Hohenheim (training):
www.tempus-rudeco.ru
Through cross-fertilization strategies to support the setting up of legal packages : (public policies) (ex : Michèle Rivasi, MEP
and Aurélien Boutaud, Consultant in SD).
www.michele-rivasi.eu
www.aboco.net
Importance of collective structures……Third pillar of SD.
Through programmes which address the sociology of organization :
“Master ACTERRA”
This specialised Master degree lead by AgroParisTech in partnership with AgroSup Dijon and accredited by the “Conférence des Grandes Ecoles”, has two options :
“Engineering sustainable development of territories”
“Agricultural policy and rural development”.
Conclusion
Today, HEI's can and must play their role in encouraging and promoting good practices for sustainable development :
they must work with entrepreneurs and elected people, encouraging them to upgrade, supporting them, each staying aware of its responsibility;
A tool which can help to achieve this challenge in Europe and in the world : the new ISO 26000 standard:
ISO 26000 provides guidelines for any organization seeking to assume responsibility for the impacts of its decisions and activities.
It defines social responsibility = a levier for progress.
