“…The subak is a complex adaptive system that has been sustained for more than two millennia through co-evolution between the Balinese farmers and their local environment rich with socio-scientific values, concepts, and issues. Hence, the system is an excellent model to study higher concerns about the relationship between scientific and technological issues in the development of a sustainable society [20].…”

“…At the same time, advances in sciences and technology are seen predominantly from a pessimistic rather than an optimistic perspective.

“…Technology has not alleviated the daily struggle of millions of people and children who face hunger and malnutrition, who have been displaced by the floods due to climate change and profit-driven deforestation, who have no access to education, water and other basic human needs.

The no-stance and the pessimistic attitudes towards technology and science seem to derive from the human and environmental costs associated with science and technology development.…”

In this paper, we look at the University of Crete experience to integrate the concept of sustainable development across all its operations. Through a review of current sustainability practices of universities worldwide, this paper has identified a number of principles for developing a sustainable university. These principles are then used as a framework for analysing the sustainable initiatives being implemented at the University of Crete in the context of the Reorient University Curricula to Address Sustainability (RUCAS) project ñ an EU-Tempus initiative. This effort has been backed-up by two research studies, which indicate the urgent need for institutionalising sustainability across all university functions.
