This paper explores the vision of “University Third Mission” on the emergence of “Sustainable Science”. We aim to track environmentally sound technologies (ESTs) patent trends, proportionate players, collaborative players of higher educational institutions. The patentscope database and green patent inventory of World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO )is utilized to extract patent filings details of Indian Universities and Indian Institutes of Technologies(IITs), thus totally 930 institutions for the period of 14 years. After the cleaning process, data visualization tools and technique like Gephi, are applied on data to check collaboration patterns using centrality measures and excel for charts. We find that overall patenting trends are increasing; yet ESTs patent filings are low. Only a meager number of institutions are active and a handful of institutions have the collaboration record showing the research for sustainability is something to embrace. Status of current research output shall equip the policymakers and university management to design future research agenda and strategies to execute the university third mission and to contribute for sustainable development. This research brings new thoughts on university research for sustainable development and adds value within university third mission; it focuses on Technologies for sustainable development filings, micro level players and their collaboration patterns.

The article explores the processes of diversification of higher educational institutions in the context of the sustainable society, which poses specific requirements to the quality of training of new generations of professionals for economy, social sphere and culture. The authors believe that the co-evolution of higher education and the society of sustainable development may evolve along the line of horizontal diversification of higher educational institutions. In the framework of this type of diversification, many industry-specific institutions of higher education (academies, institutes, technological universities) launch educational programs beyond their specialized status and implement ICT education across all curricula. The authors emphasize that for higher education to be sustainable, besides being continuous, it needs to move in the direction of fundamentalization, universality, flexibility, informatization and increasing the role of the humanities. To be sustainable, higher education has to be innovative, based on a harmonious unity of teaching, research and industry-based training. Today, university curricula should be flexible and show a good balance between fundamental and applied disciplines, on the one hand, and so-called general disciplines, the humanities, social sciences and specialist, profession-specific disciplines on the other. The humanities must be granted a proper place in the content of university education, if we want universities to shape high cultural and moral values in their graduates.
