可持续性共创:大学社会服务职能的新拓展

Co-creation for Sustainability: The Expansion of University’s Social Service Function

可持续性共创活动是大学在创业时代为应对社会可持续发展危机的学术回应,也是大学社会服务职能嬗变的结果。作为可持续性共创的大学,致力于在可持续发展的价值理念上,通过合作创新建立起一种用于促进技术、社会和环境共同发展的方案,从而推动城市或地区的全面发展。以瑞士联邦理工学院和美国欧柏林学院为例,探讨其在促进地区可持续发展方面的实践路径,可以发现大学可持续性共创活动拓展了传统社会服务职能的空间,同时为未来大学的发展提供了新的选择和思路。

Co-creation for sustainability is the academic response of university to the sustainability crisis in the era of entrepreneurship, and also the result of changes in university's social service function. As a cocreation sustainability university, it is committed to setting up a solution for promoting the common development of technology, society and the environment through cooperation and innovation based on the values of sustainable development, so as to promote the comprehensive development of cities and regions. This study takes Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology and Oberlin College as two examples and discusses their channels in promoting regional sustainable development. It could be found that co-creation for sustainability not only expand the space of traditional university's social service function, but also provide new options and ideas for the university's future development.
