GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, DECEMBER 7<\/strong>, 2023 \u2013<\/strong> The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) recently announced article \u201cTeaching sustainability within the context of everyday life: Steps toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals through the EUSTEPs (Enhancing Universities\u2019 Sustainability Teaching and Practices through Ecological Footprint) Module<\/a>\u201d as the recipient of the 2023 AASHE Sustainability Award for outstanding research in higher education sustainability. The research \u2013 conducted within the context of the EUSTEPs project<\/a>, funded by the ERASMUS+ programme of the European Union \u2013 won in the Campus Sustainability Research Award category.<\/p>\n

AASHE bestows its prestigious awards on the institutions and individuals that help lead higher education to a sustainable future. This year, AASHE received 300+ entries resulting in 10 winners announced across five categories. Entries were judged on overall impact, innovation, stakeholder involvement, clarity, and other criteria specific to each category.<\/p>\n

Georgios Malandrakis, Associate Professor in Environmental\u00a0Education at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and EUSTEPs project coordinator, acknowledges the privilege of working with the dedicated and inspiring project team. \u201cIt is a great pleasure to receive the AASHE award. This EU funded project brought together 16 researchers from 4 countries whom were initially almost unknown to each other. Through our research collaboration, we became friends, developed this successful educational module, and managed to engage and educate more than 7,000 university students from nearly 60 countries,\u201d explains Malandrakis.<\/p>\n

The EUSTEPs project\u2019s successes are a culmination of three years\u2019 work from passionate project partners. \u201cWhat impresses me most is the wealth of information captured in the various documents and interactive tools we created to empower students, educators, and HEI administrative staff. It\u2019s rewarding that, in our research findings on the EUSTEPs Module, students found Global Footprint Network\u2019s personal Footprint Calculator<\/a> to be the most useful educational material to better understand how their daily activities fit into the bigger picture of sustainability,\u201d reflects Director of Mediterranean and MENA Regions at Global Footprint Network, and EUSTEPs research awardee Dr. Alessandro Galli.<\/p>\n

“The 2023 AASHE Sustainability Award winners exemplify an unwavering commitment to advancing sustainability within their academic institutions. They are setting new standards and reshaping the landscape of sustainability in higher education,” said AASHE Executive Director Meghan Fay Zahniser.<\/p>\n

AASHE held a virtual awards ceremony on Dec. 7 to recognize and celebrate the 10 award recipients. Award recipients receive recognition in various formats, including a plaque from Rivanna Natural Designs, a woman-owned B Corp with a strong commitment to sustainability. To date, 135 higher education institutions and people have been recognized through this prestigious award program since its inception in 2006.<\/p>\n
