Information collected comprised the data retrieved in Brazil and in Flanders, in order to generate discussions around challenges and opportunities for adopting EMI in these contexts. The study concludes that some actions are necessary for overcoming some challenges identified, such as the creation of local support units (for languages) at universities, for the preparation and implementation of EMI courses.

Sustainability Movement

Over the past decade universities from around the world have begun recognizing their need and  responsibility to incorporate sustainable ideals into their teaching practices and daily operations. This same recognition has taken place at Queen’s University where over the past several years a sustainability  movement has been gathering momentum. Individuals from every stakeholder group are beginning to  explore how Queen’s can implement a successful campus wide sustainability plan. It is however unclear  how exactly this commitment should be approached. In spite of the large number of universities making  similar commitments there appears to be no ‘cookie cutter’ model for success. Every university has its own  unique challenges and opportunities that must be addressed early in the planning phases. By combining the lessons learned at other institutions of higher education with the challenges and opportunities at Queen’s this paper lays out a strategy for how Queen’s should approach sustainability.
