Sustainability and social responsibility have become hot topics in Informatics, with more enterprises and organizations looking at their and others’ digital technology through this lens. At the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, we have experience in education on these perspectives in the Computer Science and Information Sciences Master’s programs, connecting well to our university’s educational principles. Specifically, Information Sciences as an education program and professional discipline is well-suited to approach and assess information technology from a sustainabilityand societal perspective. In this paper, we describe how sustainability and digital society are embedded in the curriculum and reflect on our experience by synthesizing five lessons learned. We also present the preliminary design of a Master’s program Information Sciences, which will start in 2020/2021 with a special focus on the Digital Society and Sustainability. Keywords—sustainability, education, information sciences, digital society.
