| Abstract | Campus Bizia Lab is a University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) programme arising from the Erasmus Project University Education for Sustainable Development (US4SD). It seeks to address the sustainability challenges at our university's three campuses by means of a transdisciplinary approach involving students, administrative and academic staff. The programme consists of a research-action process aimed at developing a high-impact practice (HIP) on students (cross-cutting learning based on challenges concerned with sustainability) in which lecturers act as researchers into their own practices. This HIP is curricular in nature, and is handled via final year projects for bachelor's degrees (TFG) and masters' courses (TFM). These challenges, which were defined by the Campus Bizia Lab community in a seminar, include Energy Transition, Circular Economy, Waste Management, Mobility and Urban Planning, Culture and Sustainability, Responsible Production and Consumption, Healthy Eating and Education for Transformation. Campus Bizia Lab began to operate during the 2017/18 academic year, after a pilot scheme conducted the previous year. In the first edition, 178 people (84 women and 94 men) from over 10 different faculties (including Engineering, Education, Science, Economics and Business and Fine Arts) participated in 18 projects. A second edition has recently commenced for the 2018-19 academic, in which 27 people (17 women and 10 men) from various groups working on four new projects have joined the programme. |
