CRESDCollaborative Research in Education for Sustainable Development

The project Collaborative Research in Education for Sustainable Development (CRESD) is a research endeavour that aims at developing and applying an assessment tool (questionnaire) regarding the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of EU Green students regarding sustainable development. 

This project is partly constructed on the BASE (Baseline Assessment of Sustainability related Educational) practices and perceptions of the academic and research staff across EU Green. While BASE focused on teachers, this new project analyses students’ engagement with sustainable development. 

CRESD project also builds on pilot research conducted by the University of Oradea team, that, based on extensive literature review, developed and tested an assessment tool regarding students' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to sustainability (SKABS tool). Based on these, through dialogue and joint work, we aim to further refine and apply this tool across all partner universities. 

The final research report will provide relevant insights enabling partner universities to develop strategies to enhance and implement their education for sustainable development approaches and practices. 

The CRESD project received Seed funding from the European consortium EU GREEN in 2024.
Participating universities: Angers, Evora,  Magdeburg, Oradea (coordinator), Parma and Atlantic Technological University.
Granem researchers involved: Frédérique Chédotel & Svitlana Plotnytska.
