Hungarian Research Teachers’ Association (HRTA) is an independent civil organisation.  Our members are aspiring teachers who live their profession as a mission and are willing to improve the educational environment they are working in.

There are many other creative teachers or various teacher associations—but we are networking (let us teach humanities, arts or science) to support each other in our innovative ambitions. Being part of a civil organisation provides us good opportunities to realize and implement our initiatives so that they get taken further from the level of ideas at last thus making school life more inspiring and more useful. 

Our target is that the work of our Association, which has high standards and effectiveness, would become a main factor to educational policy especially in the fields of talent development and creating educational methods and materials.With our experience and ideas we intend on our students staying open and curious in the World. We want them to become open-minded multi-lingual citizens in a way that they could find their place in different groups as well. They should have the claim to search for the cause-causal connections, but remain stable, harmonic people who beyond their probable successes, keep the importance of giving help in their surroundings.

Frederick University (FU) is one of the four recognised private Universities operating in the Republic of Cyprus and is the only University in Cyprus which has an expertise in Education for Environment and Sustainable Development and it offers Masters and PhD programs exclusively in ESD. Since 2009 the School of Education has offered an innovative postgraduate programme (MSc) in Education for the Environment and Sustainable Development. The programme places emphasis upon reorienting education towards sustainable development.

The programme receives support and cooperation from a number of governmental and non-governmental organisations, such as the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Environmental Education Centres Network, the Ministry of Agriculture Natural Resources and Environment, and several environmental NGOs. Furthermore, the undergraduate programmes of the Departments of Primary and Pre-primary education include a number of compulsory courses on education for the environment and sustainable development. Since 2015 school of Education offers a new distance international master course in ICT and ESD.

NCU is one of the leading research units of the FU, which has developed a wide range of activities in the areas of education for the environment and sustainable development, nature conservation and natural resources management. The School of Education works in close cooperation with the Nature Conservation Unit (NCU) of FU. During the past five years, the FU has secured and carried out more than 15 research projects on ESD that have been funded by the Research Promotion Foundation of Cyprus, the European Commission, the United Nations and the Government of Cyprus.

Through these projects, the FU has established close collaborations and concrete national regional and international networks on ESD with a wide range of partners (research institutions, universities, NGOs etc) from Cyprus and abroad. In 2018 FU awarded in Educational Leaders Awards as the University in Cyprus that has a long term and holistic Strategy on ESD.

The Italian Association for Sustainability Science (IASS, Associazione Italiana per la Scienza della Sostenibilità) is a scientific association gathering scientists, educators, experts and practitioners, established in 2013. It promotes inter and transdisciplinary debate and collaboration among disciplines and actors in order to jointly find solutions that help us initiate, support and scientifically accompany the transformation to sustainable development.

IASS is connected with the International Society of Sustainability Science and the International Conferences on Sustainability Science (ICSS), the World Organization for Systems and Cybernetics, and other Networks on ESD and Sustainable Place Shaping.

IASS is actively involved in promoting development of ESD in Italy through several actions:

Other fields in which IASS is engaged are: “Transforming Assessment & Evaluation” (Global SDGs Transformation Forum); designing and co-producing research and action together with representatives of the scientific community as well as of politics, industry and civil society; Valorisation of the Agro-cultural Heritage for Sustainability; Tobitate Young Ambassador Programme (capacity building programme for sustainable development financed by Japanese Ministry of Research and Education)

Duurzame PABO is the Dutch network of teacher training colleges and primary schools that are actively working on education for sustainable development (ESD) in (existing) education and the organizations. This network is established in 2005. Duurzame PABO is an independent NGO since 2008. Duurzame PABO participates actively in Leren voor Morgen, the cooperation that links (about) all Dutch ESD initiatives since 2017.

Duurzame PABO supports in several ways:

Tallinn University is the largest university of humanities in Tallinn and the third biggest public university in Estonia. We have almost 7,000 students (with 9.5% of them international), and about 800 employees, including nearly 400 researchers and lecturers.

Wishing to contribute more to the society, we have set a goal to become the promoter of intelligent lifestyle in Estonia. We interpret intelligent lifestyle as making research-based decisions in order to improve the society in general and the well-being of its citizens.

In the past 13 years, Tallinn University has merged a number of study and research institutions. This has significantly widened the scope of the responsibility the university holds, starting from teacher education and ending with choreography.

Our five interdisciplinary focus fields are educational innovation, digital and media culture, cultural competences, healthy and sustainable lifestyle and society and open governance.

From 1st September 2015 each focus field is represented by a separate School, wherein the sixth School supports the rest with digital technologies and analytics. We also have two regional colleges, one in Rakvere and the other in Haapsalu.
