Energy for Sustainable Development in Asia

COMprehensive Program to Enhance Technology, Engineering 
and ScieNCE Education (COMPETENCE) in Asia: 
( )
The Role and Contribution of Higher Education Institutions
Overall Developmental Goal
• to engage individuals, academic institutions and governments to 
develop and use science education as a fundamental basis for 
sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific 

Program Objectives
• to establish a framework for regional collaboration on science, 
technology and engineering education in the context of ESD;
• to clarify the role of higher education institutions in promoting
to clarify the role of higher education institutions in promoting 
sustainability, and create space for inter‐university regional cooperation  
for the development of new content and methodologies for a model 
course in sustainability science; 
• to promote advocacy and raise awareness on the concepts of 
p y p
sustainability science,
• to create a multi‐ and inter‐disciplinary higher education science course 
as a model course for regional countries to advocate the creation of a 
new discipline for sustainable development, and 
• to increase access to quality education tools and resources through the 
use of information and communication technology networks

Education targeting sustainability science, energy
and other UNESCO science fields.

Development and validation of a model interdisciplinary course

Science Education 
on sustainability science Assessments & 
Proposal 
Outline and content of a generic model course on Development for 3 
Sustainability Science will be developed. Pilot courses will
be developed
p to test and refine the effective approach.

Model courses
Together with partners (Kyoto University,
Renewable Energy for SEEForum), a multi- and inter-disciplinary
renewable energy model course for
sustainable development sustainable development will be develop. Pilot Projects in 3 
Year 1 is for the feasibility assessment
assessment. countries

Model courses for water, DRR are planned to

Water, Environment and be developed together with Nagoya University
Disaster Risk Reduction (IHP), Kyoto University (DRH). Tokyo Tech
(Water) and other regional partners.

Basic Sciences and Engineering

Courses on climate change and other
science issues such as robotics,
bioinformatics, biodiversity, etc. will be
Others science issues developed later in the project

Dissemination
For the e-learning mode of course delivery,
Mobilizing science knowledge for the project will continue working with
sustainable development through ICTs ICT networks such as SOI, NRENs, and TEIN
