The mining industry in the world has undergone a major metamorphosis in recent years. These changes have forced higher education to modify the curricula in a thorough way to meet the mining entrepreneurs’ needs. The paper’s scope is to answer the research question—how to attract students and implement Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in higher education in mining engineering? Based on the case of international cooperation carried out at the Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST) within the framework of educational projects co-financed by European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities Raw Materials (EIT RM), the authors prove that the idea of sustainable development can be introduced into the system of teaching mining specialists at every level of their higher education (engineering and master’s studies), through developing their new competencies, introducing new subjects taking into account innovative solutions and technologies, or placing great emphasis on environmental and social aspects. Examples of new curricula show a good way to change into the new face of a mining engineer.

Research about impacts of technological advances in communication and information has increased exponentially around the world. But in addition to discussing ways to drive innovation, they have also raised concerns about social inequality and, consequently, about the role of educational and cultural institutions in promoting equal access to and use of information. In Brazil, the largest professional and scientific event in the area of Library Science, the Brazilian Congress of Library Science, Documentation and Information Science (CBBD), in 2017 had in the first thematic axis the approach of the Sustainable Development Objectives (ODS), in which it brought the relationship between the objectives and the role of libraries in the process of achieving them. According to the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, through the development of libraries, it is possible to help people obtain information necessary for access to economic opportunities, gender equality, quality education and to improve their health or to develop their communities. In view of the above, and the theme of the IX Meeting of the Association of Education and Research in Information Science in Latin America and the Caribbean, "Open Data and Digital Inclusion in the Big Data Age", this paper aimed to investigate the actions that are and can be developed in libraries to promote autonomy in business, innovation and technology. Objective corresponding to the thematic line "4 The professionals of the information and documentation in front of the Goals of Sustainable Development of the Agenda of the United Nations", through means of decent employment and economic growth. Thus, a qualitative and descriptive research was carried out to reach the proposed objective. As results, five actions were obtained: 1) direction of spaces for coworking; 2) implantation of the makerspace; 3) courses, workshops and workshops; 4) information skills development programs; 5) Digital Information Literacy Development Programs. It should be emphasized that these actions will only reflect in the business, innovation and technology environments from the integration of the libraries in the local community, becoming part of their actions.

The Impact

Based on the provincial panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2009 to 2018, this paper uses the system GMM estimation method to examine the impact of university efficiency and financial development on technology transfer from the perspective of economic innovation, and validates the hypotheses of theoretical analysis. The research results show that university efficiency may promote technology agglomeration, but significantly inhibit technology transfer, which is not conducive to directly promoting economic innovation; while financial development significantly promotes technology transfer, which is conducive to promoting economic innovation. Finally, based on the above conclusions, in order to better promote economic innovation and technology transfer, and promote the sustainable development of the national innovation system, this article puts forward corresponding policy recommendations.

The Global Islamic Economy Indicator recognizes Malaysia as a global leader of the Islamic/Halal economy. Malaysia is also expanding its Islamic Economy and Business Ecosystem. Accordingly, the Ministry of Entrepreneur Development (MED) in Malaysia aims to produce a million small and medium enterprise (SME) entrepreneurs in 2019-2023. However, the Global Innovation Index in 2018 and 2019 ranked Malaysia in the 35th place globally, behind top Asian innovators like Singapore, South Korea, and Japan. This raises an important question: How can Malaysia foster its entrepreneurial economy using its advantageous position in the Halal industry? Malaysia must act now to prepare for a future led by innovation and technology. The country can use the Halal Entrepreneurship Success Scale to foster sustainable innovation and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Measuring the success of Halal entrepreneurs in Malaysia can help it to achieve the SDGs. The religious background of Halal entrepreneurs motivates them to contribute positively to their society and environment. Halal entrepreneurship can be a driver of transformation that can help attain and deliver the SDGs while promoting sustainable economic growth. The findings of this paper can be useful to policy makers, regulators, practitioners, and academics.

The process of technology transfer is complex and involves a series of factors and variables. Within this process, it is common that transferor and transferee might face several barriers. Furthermore, processes involving innovation and technology transfer must consider the impacts for the sustainable development. Taking these aspects into account, this paper aims to identify the barriers and opportunities in technology transfer oriented to sustainable development. To reach this goal, a systematic review of literature was carried out using the methodology Methodi Ordinatio. A portfolio composed of 107 scientific articles was built. The results demonstrate the main barriers, among which we can mention unavailability of financial resources or subsidies to obtain or implement a certain technology, and bureaucracy to obtain these resources. On the other hand, some opportunities can also be found, like Clean Development Mechanism and policies and regulations that favour the adoption and diffusion of clean technologies. Thus, this paper contributes to the academy by exploring the interconnections of Technology Transfer and Sustainable Development in the literature. This paper also contributes to the presentation of knowledge resources — information regarding barriers and opportunities to technology transfer oriented to sustainable development — so that governments and decision makers could define policies and strategies for a more effective process.
