Abstract

Abstract This chapter is concerned with three main integrated issues. It looks forward towards enhancing ‘sustainable development’, using ‘innovation’, enabled by ‘higher education’ institutions. Therefore, sustainable development is the ‘target’; innovation is the ‘mean’; and higher education (HE) is the ‘enabler’ of the mean for achieving the target. The chapter starts by addressing the ‘target’ through explaining the ‘long time scale’ and the ‘wide scope of issues’ of sustainable development, in addition to elaborating on the past efforts, and considering the current directions expressed by the ‘sustainable development goals’. It then moves on to the ‘mean’ that is the innovation that drives sustainable development, considering its various types and its correlated components given by the ‘global innovation index’. HE, as an important enabler of innovation, is then addressed by considering its impact, its missions and their contribution to innovation, in addition to its challenges and the future development. The chapter finally emphasises views on the future role of ‘HE’ in promoting ‘innovation’ towards enhancing ‘sustainable development’.

第五章:高等教育创新:促进可持续发展

本章主要涉及三个综合问题。它期待通过“高等教育”机构的推动，利用“创新”来加强“可持续发展”。因此，可持续发展是“目标”;创新是“中庸”;而高等教育是实现这一目标的手段的“推动者”。本章首先通过解释可持续发展的“时间尺度长”和“问题范围广”来解决“目标”，并详细阐述了过去的努力，并考虑了“可持续发展目标”所表达的当前方向。然后，考虑到“全球创新指数”给出的各种类型及其相关组成部分，它转向“平均值”，即推动可持续发展的创新。高等教育作为创新的重要推动者，除了面临的挑战和未来发展外，还应考虑高等教育的影响、使命和对创新的贡献。本章最后强调“高等教育”在推动“创新”以促进“可持续发展”方面的未来角色。
