Abstract

Sustainable education has many facets involving not only the conservation of our natural ecosystem and the development of a sustainable society but also promoting equity and ensuring lifelong learning opportunities for all regardless of any handicaps or circumstances. UNESCO, through its Sustainable Development Goals, and the European Commission through several programmes, push the society and the universities to promote Quality Education as a core asset of modern societies in the digital era. ATHENA is a European University, a federation of seven higher education institutions, aimed to nurture the development of all-inclusive digitalization of societies. The educational model of ATHENA is based on several initiatives and novel pedagogies to advance green education and inclusion at the European Higher Education Area. At this paper we describe the general architecture of ATHENA focusing on concrete activities directly linked to sustainable education such as blended mobility, competence clusters, remote labs and assistive technology. ATHENA will set all these in place during the coming three years starting in October 2020. By 2023 ATHENA will be a renowned brand in higher education, a unified, yet distributed, campus offering sustainable equitable education and research to its stakeholders.
