The University of Limassol (UoL) as a Higher Education Institution is directly involved in the field of education and research and aims to create a dynamic learning environment, where students can develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to succeed in an ever-changing world and to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives. UoL fosters a collaborative and dynamic research ecosystem through its five specialized research centers: the UoL Research Center, the Executive Education Center, the CIIM Bioeconomia Center, the UoL Centre for ESG, and the UoL Centre for DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion). Some indicative actions that the university implements to support the promotion and awareness raising of sustainable development are the following: The Ethics, Responsibility, and Sustainability academic course which is compulsory for all students and focuses on injecting ethical principles and core values into the conduct, decision making and problem solving of current and future managers and leaders. This program supports students to learn how to resolve ethical dilemmas, to create shared business and social value through CSR and to enhance the sustainability of their operations and strategy. The CIIM Bioeconomia Center of the UoL, with many years of action and studies, on the issues of Local Government, organizes a series of Special Educational Programs on a regular basis, with the aim of strengthening the knowledge and abilities of Municipal and Community Councillors. With topics such as ‘Green Consumption’, ‘Cultural Sustainability’ and ‘Green Cultural Entrepreneurship’, the Center supports their journey for enduring growth within the realm of sustainable development. The most recent implementation was in the context of the candidacy of the Municipality of Kourion for the title of European Capital of Culture 2030 (Website: KOURION2030) through which a series of interactive workshops and seminars were implemented focusing on the promotion of Cultural Sustainability and Sustainable Consumption. These workshops introduced to participants the European Green Deal and the notions of ‘Cultural Sustainability’ and ‘Green Cultural Entrepreneurship’. In an effort to design an inclusive and sustainable cultural strategy for the Municipality of Kourion, an analysis and the value of the 17SDGs in relation to culture was also presented. Also, aspart of its Corporate Social Responsibility, the Center actively informs local authorities through on-site meetings and/or free educational seminars about their obligations leading up to 2030. This ensures that they align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the European Protocol for Green Municipalities and Communities. Additionally, it engages with businesses and through presentations and webinars informs them about the value of green economy. On another note, several research projects are in the process of implementation which focus on proposing solutions and actions for sustainable development both at local and European levels. For instance the InterGenic project aims to promote the twin (green and digital) EU Transition through intergenerational learning and by developing an intergenerational action in each participating country (Spain, Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Austria, Ireland and Belgium), focusing on the development of sustainable and digitally informed local communities. The implementation process of such projects on behalf of the university is coordinated by the UoL Research Center and in several cases in collaboration with the university’s departments, such as the Psychology, Education and Innovation and Technology. Overall, through CSR activities, strategy, and operations (education and research), the university seeks to contribute to sustainable development and the protection of the natural environment and the planet.
