About the project

Sustainabuild is a project supporting three higher education institutions in Denmark, Finland, and Belgium and a construction business association in Spain to develop activities to foster the acquisition of interdisciplinary green skills and awareness towards the environmental challenges of their students and lecturers based on solid input and needs from the construction industry.

The aim of Sustainabuild

The environment and fight against climate change are an urgent focus on national, EU and global scenes recognizing key role of higher education institutions (HEIs) contributing to the changes needed to become climate neutral by 2050. Developing competencies and future-oriented curricula that meet the needs of individuals and the respective industries are highly required as the construction industry holds great responsibility and potential for supporting this agenda.

The overall aim of this project is, therefore, to equip students at construction engineering programmes through increased sustainable knowledge, awareness, and interdisciplinary green sectorial skills in an international perspective using innovative digital didactic learning methods and digital mobility. Additionally, SUSTAINABUILD aims to provide valuable insights into the contribution of the built environment to practitioners and lecturers within the field and to ultimately push the sustainability agenda in Europe and accelerate the implementation by internationally exchanging ideas and good practices.

Intellectual outputs

In order to fulfil our aim, we will develop the following work packages:

A strategic design framework
A hybrid course
A digital handbook.

Once these work packages are developed, you can read more about them under the "Results" section.
