Abstract

The twin transition (digital and ecological transformations) is crucial for addressing sustainable growth within Higher Education (HE). This conceptual paper proposes a Twin Transition Strategy Framework for Higher Education institutions, focusing on how universities can leverage their research, teaching, and collaboration capabilities to address sustainable growth through digital and ecological transformations. The framework identifies four key entities: Research Culture, University Curricula, University-Industry Partnerships, and University-Government Partnerships. It highlights significant opportunities for universities, including pioneering interdisciplinary research and adapting curricula, while also acknowledging challenges like potential conflicts between digital and environmental goals. The paper advocates for a holistic, integrated approach, emphasizing innovative teaching, strong partnerships, and ambitious sustainability targets for university operations, ultimately offering recommendations for contributing to a sustainable and digital future.
La doppia transizione (trasformazioni digitali ed ecologiche) è fondamentale per affrontare la crescita sostenibile nell'istruzione superiore (IS). Questo documento concettuale propone un quadro strategico di doppia transizione per gli istituti di istruzione superiore, concentrandosi su come le università possono sfruttare le loro capacità di ricerca, insegnamento e collaborazione per affrontare la crescita sostenibile attraverso trasformazioni digitali ed ecologiche. Il quadro identifica quattro entità chiave: cultura della ricerca, programmi di studio universitari, partnership tra università e industria e partnership tra università e governo. Evidenzia opportunità significative per le università, tra cui la ricerca interdisciplinare pionieristica e l'adattamento dei programmi di studio, pur riconoscendo anche sfide come i potenziali conflitti tra obiettivi digitali e ambientali. Il documento sostiene un approccio olistico e integrato, sottolineando l'insegnamento innovativo, le partnership solide e gli obiettivi ambiziosi di sostenibilità per le operazioni universitarie, offrendo infine raccomandazioni per contribuire a un futuro sostenibile e digitale.
