这篇介绍性文章提供了本特卷的起源背景。它基于作者之间关于大学外展主题的对话和区域合作实践经验的分享，以及与促进科学与政策之间作为可持续价值观的接口相关的理论考虑。讨论了可持续发展教育十年（DESD）带来的战略挑战，包括其在高等教育中的适用性、改变知识生成和分配模式的潜力，以及相关流程的修改。 DESD旨在帮助大学教师更有效地满足社会需求，向更可持续的发展模式过渡。它还设想支持内部和外部关系和互动，以确保它们更加开放，并带来教学/学习、层次结构和沟通程序的变化。人们还寻求改变对“权威”定义的看法，包括科学家、文本、机构和科学本身。从对社会开放及其潜在障碍和好处的角度探讨了高等教育层面以可持续发展为导向的转型的总体主题。介绍性文章解释了不同的方面，例如跨学科学习环境中的学习过程、这些过程的评估、相关课程及其整体设计和区域适用性。它总结了区域可持续发展合作伙伴之间形成的沟通模式的经验。人们发现这种沟通是一个在所有相关参与者之间建立对话的过程。对这些相互作用的分析提供了对科学范式和大学实践中正在发生的变化的洞察，这有助于为促进和扩展这种以可持续发展为导向的转型过程奠定坚实的基础。总结了进一步研究以增强科学和教育对社会的影响的前景，并对所提出的问题进行了回顾。
This introductory article provides the context for the genesis of this Special Volume. It is based upon a dialogue among the authors on the topic of university outreach and the sharing of practical experiences regarding regional cooperation, as well as theoretical considerations related to facilitating the interface between science and policy as sustainability values. The strategic challenges posed by the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) are discussed with regard to their applicability in higher education and their potential to transform knowledge generation and distribution patterns, as well as in regard to the modification of relevant processes. The DESD was designed to help university faculties to assist more effectively in meeting the needs of society make the transition to more sustainable development patterns. It was also envisioned to support internal and external relationships and interactions to ensure that they are more open, and bring about changes in teaching/learning, their hierarchies and their communication procedures. Changes were also sought with regard to perceptions of what defines an ‘authority’, including scientists, texts, institutions and science itself. The overall theme of sustainability-oriented transformation at the higher educational level was addressed from the point of view of openness towards society, and its potential barriers and benefits. The introductory article explains the different aspects, such as learning processes in transdisciplinary learning environments, the assessment of these processes, associated curricula, and their holistic design and regional applicability. It summarizes these experiences with regard to the communication patterns that evolved among the partners in regional sustainability cooperation. This communication was found to be a process that established a discourse among all the actors involved. The analysis of those interactions provided insight into the on-going changes taking place in scientific paradigms and university practices, which helped to create a solid basis to promote and extend this sustainability-oriented transformation process. The prospects for further research to enhance the impact of science and education on society and a review of the issues raised are summarized.
