The aim of the SustainComp project was to bridge the gap between sector-divided, discipline-embedded national curricula in education and to address the current need for competence-based, interdisciplinary, transformative, and internationalized Higher Education (HE) that is in congruence with the European Council Erasmus+ program and the 21st Century learning goals. Four HE partners – UCL University College in Denmark, University of Agder in Norway, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Masaryk University, Czech Republic - set out to develop a 10 ECTS SustainComp Curriculum, each partner contributing to the aims with a 2,5 ECTS submodule as part of the SustainComp curriculum. The development of the 10 ECTS SustainComp curriculum was guided by Design Based Research (DBR) approach, enabling the four HEs to test in practice and adjust the curriculum in the pre-pilot phase in April 2023 and the full-scale pilot in October-December 2023.
