Best practice example (institutional) BOKU: a management approach to implement ESD Univ. Applied Scienes Zittau / Görlitz: a step to step
approach
Best practice example (curricula) BOKU: Landscape (strong interdisciplinary approach) TU Graz: Engineering („fit for change“!)
Until now there are no guidelines on how to implement ESD
