Introduction

• Education is the path for ensuring a long-lasting
  implementation of the principles of Sustainable
  Development. In any of its chapters, this
  education must follow a coherent approach,
  starting with the trainers of the youngsters,
  with the young pupils, students and going to
  adults.
• The Centre for Sustainable Development, in the
  Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania
  provides a training line on Sustainable Energy,
  with a strong orientation on Renewable Energy
  Systems.
• Research and Education are synergic integrated
  in developing a strategy that involves not only
  the university area but is extended to the
  regional community and targets the national and
  European priorities.

The Centre for Sustainable Development

• In November 2003 this institutional structure was
  initiated aiming to act, according to a coherent
  strategy, for integrating the groups in and
  outside the university in research and training
  projects on this subject.

Integrating Training and Research

• UNDERGRADUATE
• Environment Engineering (5 years)
• Modules on RES in the Engineering Faculty
• MASTER COURSES
• Design and Management of the Renewable Energy
  Systems
• Applied Chemistry in Environment in Industry

The Centre for Sustainable Development

• ADULTS TRAINING
• The informal training is related to the members
  of the society
• seeking for knowledge and information on RES
• for insertion in the working market
• for development of new economical units in order
  to fill a gap, sensed between the offer and
  demand in this domain.
• Adults education in the paradigm of lifelong
  learning covers also projects for
• rising the awareness of population
• training key factors and decision makers able to
  shape the future in full knowledge of the demands
  and possibilities.

Perspectives

• Looking forward to the future, the Centre for
  Sustainable Development has formulated a strategy
  for its own sustainable development.
• This strategy is based on inner collaboration and
  external networking with other institutions,
  members of the national and European academic
  community but also with representatives of the
  economic and social environment.
• The support for developing spin off companies is
  another point of our future and represents an
  experience so far not fully exploited in Romania.
