The workshop first presents how sufficiency is explored and communicated in scientific communities and settings. This will be followed by an open discussion in which the approach will be explored in greater depth and how links to the teaching of economics can be made.

In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to discover the Sustainability in Academia platform, an entry door to diverse existing resource materials related to sustainability (content & didactics, all selected for their quality and relevance in a teaching environment). This platform offers an empowering and collaborative tool for lecturers to further integrate sustainability in diverse ways into their existing/new courses in business education, whatever their core topic. This is a supportive tool to any lecturer looking to address the students’ skills and competences development so they are equipped to become change leaders in their field. In keeping with the tool's accompanying spirit, this workshop enables you to explore the possible applications of the platform and how it can be used for the development of existing and new courses. Participants are invited to bring their own course or module they would like to develop or adapt so they can support each other in this endeavor.

The concepts of sustainable development and organizational sustainability were originally conceived in the late 20th century by individuals who grew up in an analog world. However, in the past four decades, digitization has profoundly transformed human development and organizations. Simply applying the traditional analog concept of sustainability to the digital realm would mean disregarding the significant impact of digitization. In order to fully address sustainability in a digital world, we need to go beyond the traditional three dimensions (ecology, economy, social) and explore critical aspects such as access to knowledge and tools, data sovereignty, and permission to innovate.

Through the example of the compulsory course Introduction to sustainability taught at HEC Lausanne (UNIL), we will discuss what knowledge and competencies enable future professionals to tackle sustainability challenges, and how they can be translated into learning outcomes and teaching practices in the classroom.

Even when universities subscribe to the thesis that they should integrate competences for sustainable development, e.g. following the IDG framework, into their education programs, there are significant implementation hurdles. Existing approaches such as coaching programs, experiential seminars and flipped classrooms are expensive, difficult to scale and often universities lack the expertise to do it well. In this workshop we'll work on solutions to these challenges in two parts. First, Bernd Ankenbrand will introduce a case study for how they use technology at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt to integrate the IDGs in their teaching. Second, we will go on a concise 'visioning journey' how you could overcome the challenges at your institution.

This workshop will explore the development and implementation of a cross-border, trinational degree program involving Germany, France, and Switzerland. Participants will discuss the challenges of culture change within one's academic institutions toward developing and implementing sustainable policies and degree programs in higher education institutions ("put your money where your mouth is") more generally, and the structural challenges of developing and implementing a cross-border sustainability study program more particularly (e.g. , fostering close collaboration, coordination and understanding among academic institutions across borders, aligning curriculum requirements, assessment procedures, and grading systems, funding sources and cost-sharing mechanisms, etc.).
