Project Summary

MYSUN is a NATIONAL STRUCTURAL ACTION in Malaysia which aims to promote university campuses as “living laboratories” for sustainability and energy efficiency by strengthening the partners’ capacities and creating a national-level framework that will support other Malaysian HEIs in developing a sustainable culture on their campuses. Fully in line with the Erasmus+ priorities of improving management and operations of HEIs, and backed by the Malaysian Ministry of Education, this framework (including a national network & policy recommendations) will support the entire Malaysian HE system in achieving its sustainability objectives. The initiative fits in both with the Malaysian government’s on-going efforts in sustainable development, and the needs identified in the 8 PC HEIs for external support for increasing their capacities and the foster collaboration at a national level. Specifically MYSUN aims to• Build the human capacities in university campuses’ sustainability & energy efficiency in Malaysia;• Develop a platform to promote and support a culture of sustainable HEI campuses in the Malaysian HE system through the establishment of the MYSUN Network and the delivery of a pilot MOOC on sustainability in HEI campusesIt will achieve this through a series of actions centred on1) Analysis & Training (analysis of Malaysian HEI campus sustainability practices to identify training & institutional needs; training delivered through ToT workshops, seminars and a pilot MOOC)2) Institutional Strengthening (through Sustainability Offices, Sust.
