STEM2020 - Making a difference through useful learning with Vertically Integrated Projects for Sustainable Development

Vertically Integrated Projects for Sustainable Development (VIP4SD) at the University of Strathclyde challenges multidisciplinary teams of undergraduate students to work with academic researchers on long-term research projects. Each of Strathclyde’s VIP4SD projects seek to address the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by combining the pedagogical approaches of research-based education (RBE) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), with the aim to equip students with the skills and competencies required to tackle these global goals. This presentation will outline RBESD, our ongoing work to evaluate student competencies, and the benefits of using the VIP model in STEM education as an approach to ESD.
