Розробка моделі сталого розвитку університетів: механізми інтеграції та ефективності

The object of this study is the processes of ecological transformation of university activities, aimed at integrating the principles of sustainable development into the educational, scientific, and managerial aspects of their functioning. The task addressed relates to the insufficient integration of the principles of sustainable development into the activities of universities, which limits their competitiveness at the international level and hinders the implementation of environmentally oriented educational and scientific initiatives. A conceptual model of environmentally oriented transformation (CMEOT) of universities has been devised, which enables the integration of environmental, social, and economic aspects into all levels of the educational process. The proposed mechanisms for adapting European practices allow for effective consideration of national characteristics. The implementation of the model contributes to the growth of environmental awareness of students, improving the quality of education and activating international cooperation. The results are explained by an interdisciplinary approach to sustainable development, which allows universities to flexibly adapt to global challenges. The main feature of the proposed model is its universality and the ability to adapt to different types of universities. It includes an algorithm for unifying approaches to ecological transformation, which makes it possible to take into account the specificity of educational institutions. The model devised could be used at universities of various profiles to improve the level of environmental education, implement sustainable development, and strengthen the international integration of higher education institutions. The conditions for effective implementation are support at the state level, financing of environmental initiatives, and active cooperation between universities and stakeholders
