Conceptualizations of sustainability in Portuguese higher education : roles, barriers and challenges toward sustainability. Paper presented 3rd World Symposium On Sustainable Development at Universities. Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.15/1755Although sustainability in HEI has been studied for over twenty years, relatively little is known about the status of its implementation in the Portuguese HEIs.
