The general aim of the panel discussion is to exchange on and develop further concepts of teaching sustainable development at the university.

• Is there a Science of Sustainable Development (SD)?  How can we teach it at the university?

• How can we integrate SD into the regular schedules?

• Do we need a pluralistic view on SD?

• What is SD in your disciplines’ context?

• How is it justified/ motivated? What approaches do you prefer in your discipline?

• Can we teach SD without an interdisciplinary context? 

• Do we need an interdisciplinary framework for teaching SD?
