Abstract

Many studies have explored how universities can improve their role in society by developing new approaches and educational content and providing research support for sustainability goals. However, it tends to report experiences and challenges faced by HEI in the inclusion of environmental issues in their teaching, research, extension and university management activities, considering these activities almost always as watertight. Thus, this study aimed to integrate the dimensions of sustainability with the core activity of Brazilian HEI. Using methods such as bibliographic and documentary review, the research analysis took into account scientific studies and collected data related to sustainability indicators in HEI and in society as a whole.
