Resumo(s)
Although Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) develop
and announce actions related to sustainable development
(SD), these actions and the results achieved are often not perceived
by their stakeholders. This article aims to analyse how the SD of
HEIs can contribute to better development and regional transformation,
through the promotion of sustainable practices with effects
on the regional environment. To do so, an exploratory quantitative
analysis, with a sample of 1325 stakeholders collected from seven
Portuguese public HEIs, using a multinomial logistic regression,
was carried out. The results indicate that HEIs’ stakeholders pay
attention to sustainability practices, and that regional development
and the sustainability of the region of influence can emerge
positively from the links found between these two variables and
the dimensions of SD in the HEIs studied. The contributions and
implications of these results can be seen from the perspective of
HEIs, because it shows that both students and lecturers/researchers
are aware of and value this type of practice by the institution, and
HEIs must create strategies integrating stakeholders more actively
in sustainable practices through the development of sustainable
skills and competences, and from the regional policy perspective,
given the potential and importance of HEIs as integrated actors
within their region of influence.
