>Last September, the Rector of the University of Liège,[Anne-Sophie Nyssen, outlined the institution’s Strategic Institutional Plan](https://www.lalibre.be/belgique/enseignement/2022/10/24/anne-sophie-nyssen-premiere-rectrice-de-liege-depuis-1817-la-crise-a-mis-en-avant-la-precarite-des-etudiants-E5D2C4OXBVHNJFIHXRVYC7K73Q/), comprising short-, medium- and long-term objectives. These include the introduction of a generic two-credit course on sustainability and environmental transition issues.

>The rector’s team dreamed of it, and they’ve done it. From the start of the 2024-2025 academic year, all students enrolled in the bachelor’s program will take the “Sustainability and Transition” course. “Together with in-house experts, we developed the pedagogical objectives and course outline based on a wide consultation of materials, such as scientific articles, books, international reports on the teaching of sustainable development, existing MOOCs at ULiège and external MOOCs devoted to this theme”, explains Florianne Fassotte, a specialist in sustainable development, who is coordinating the design of the content for this new course.
