sustainability unveiled The placement of more sustainable development-related scientific curricula into university programmes worldwide is the goal of a new UN University initiative to be announced at the World Summit on Sustainable Development. Under the new programme, the Tokyo-based UNU Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU/IAS) will train professors from developing countries in the science of sustainability. The goal is to increase through this “train the trainers” initiative the level of sustainable development-related curricula available in developing country universities. Entitled the Higher Education Fellowship Initiative on Science for Sustainability, the UNU/IAS programme helps respond to calls for a greater role for higher education in progressing towards sustainable development. UNU's partners will be International Council for Scientific Union (ICSU), Third World Academy of Science (TWAS), World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO), and Science Council of Asia (SCA).
