From Monday 25 to Friday 29 May 2026, the Agència Valenciana d’Avaluació i Prospectiva (AVAP) took part in Dijon in the LTTA of the European GREENVERSITY project, held at Université Bourgogne Europe under the title “From Frameworks to Practices”.
Representing AVAP were Luis Miguel Martínez, from the Service for Quality in Higher Education, and Javier Oliver Villarroya, Director General of the Agency, who took part in the different working sessions alongside university lecturers, trainers, educational developers and international project partners.
GREENVERSITY is a European Erasmus+ project aimed at integrating the European GreenComp framework into higher education. Its goal is to help universities, teaching staff and students incorporate competences linked to sustainability in a structured, practical and measurable way.
A week to move from frameworks to practice
The programme began with an opening session in which the objectives of the meeting were presented and the project’s progress was reviewed. During the first day, the work developed within WP2 was addressed, along with the review of the e-course, the project indicators and the tools linked to the GREENVERSITY CORE Framework.
This framework makes it possible to translate the competences included in GreenComp into measurable learning outcomes, facilitating their application in the classroom and across university programmes.
In this context, Luis Miguel Martínez and Javier Oliver Villarroya delivered a session focused on the GREENVERSITY University Pathway, a proposal designed to facilitate the incorporation of green competences into higher education.
During their presentation, they shared the work developed by AVAP to connect sustainability, educational innovation and quality assurance in higher education, with the aim of moving towards a more practical, cross-cutting and measurable integration of these competences into university programmes.
Throughout the week, the programme included working sessions, practical workshops and exchange spaces focused on topics such as systems thinking, futures literacy, action for sustainability and the “Train-the-Trainers” strategy, designed to help transfer the project’s learning outcomes to other educational contexts.
Activities linked to European projects on sustainability and climate transition were also held, including the presentation of the Response project, related to NetZero Cities, during a visit to the Tour Philippe Le Bon.
AVAP’s role in GREENVERSITY
AVAP’s participation in this meeting forms part of its commitment to the continuous improvement of higher education and to the incorporation of new approaches that enable universities to respond to today’s major environmental, social and educational challenges.
Through GREENVERSITY, the Agency contributes to the development of tools such as the GREENVERSITY University Pathway, which help integrate green competences into higher education, connecting sustainability, educational innovation and quality assurance in higher education.
In a context marked by the ecological transition, preparing students to understand and face the planet’s challenges is a shared responsibility. For this reason, integrating sustainability into university programmes should not be understood as an additional element, but as an essential part of the education of future generations.
Because moving towards a more sustainable higher education system means bringing environmental commitment into the classroom, into educational programmes and into the way universities prepare the people who will build the future.
