8th GUNi World Report Special Issue

A dialogue between Prof. Daniella Tilbury and Didac Ferrer

Reinventing universities for a sustainable future must become a core mission of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) all over the world, and so it is, of course, one of the key topics of the 8th Higher Education in the World Report (HEIW). At GUNi, we are willing to foster action and engage HEIs towards Sustainable Development (SD). 

In the coming weeks we will be releasing a compilation of publications to present paths for immediate action when it comes to SD. In this case, we present a podcast with the expertise and voices of Professor Daniella Tilbury, an academic leader and change maker credited with having developed the initial frameworks for higher education in the field of SD, and Didac Ferrer, Head of the Innovation and Community Office of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC).

In this podcast, Ferrer and Tilbury explore some best practices and future scenarios that we hope will enlighten and influence HEIs to make a real impact by committing with concepts such as transformation, inclusiveness and, overall, with Sustainable Development.

We want to hear about you! What are your thoughts after listening to this dialogue? Did Prof. Tilbury inspire you to make a change? Is your institution carrying out an innovative project about SD? Share your thoughts and practices on social media with the hashtag #GUNiCall4Action

Stay tuned! We will be publishing more contents about Sustainable Development in the coming weeks.

"Higher education institutions have the potential to contribute to inclusive transformation as producers of scientific knowledge that can be deployed to help disadvantaged communities solve local development challenges." [Read more]

About the 8th GUNi World Report

Higher Education in the World is a collective project that has become a benchmark in the higher education sector after seven issues. This series of reports considers the key challenges facing higher education (HE) and its institutions worldwide. This time round, the current context of change calls for a special issue, and the new edition of the Report sets out a broader renewed vision looking towards 2030 and beyond.

The special issue builds on GUNi’s accumulated experience fostering global and regional analyses and producing knowledge for institutional action and public policy-making. Entitled “New Visions for Higher Education towards 2030”, this edition analyses the state of HE in the world and seeks to respond to the need for HEIs to transform themselves in the light of major global changes.
