About the project

Sustainabuild is a project supporting 3 higher education institutions in Belgium, Denmark and Finland with a construction business association in Spain to develop activities to foster the acquisition of interdisciplinary green skills and awareness towards the environmental challenges of students and lecturers based on solid input and needs from the construction industry.

More information

The main objective of SUSTAINABUILD is to develop a 5 study credits (ECTS) hybrid course focusing in detail on how construction projects (new buildings and renovation projects) can support the achievement of the Agenda of the United Nations for 2023 and implement the course in the educational programmes of the partners.

The expected key results of SUSTAINABUILD project are:

  • A Strategic Design Framework (WP2) of how the SDGs can be integrated into construction projects
  • with a list of SDG construction dimensions and targets that the hybrid course needs to cover.

The strategic design framework will provide insights into the current state of implementation of the SDGs in construction in the partner countries and current local needs in the industry.
