Sažetak
The idea of a sustainable development — which was declared the model of the international environmental policy in the Agenda 21 — faces all areas of society with the task of a new orientation. In this paper, the tasks of the university concerning this issue are investigated. Starting from the role ascribed to universities in the Agenda 21, represented is the status of ecologizing of German universities, such as the integration of environmental issues into research and teaching as well as the development of environmentally based university courses.
The second part of this paper deals with the Copernicus–Charta, which has been passed by the European Rectors' Conference. The aim of this Charta is to develop university education for a sustainable development. Discussed is the 10–point–program. For each of the points the topical situation is observed, measures of application are developed and potential costs are analyzed. At German universities there are over two million students and teachers, who are in possession of key qualification for a sustainable development. A proposal has been made to relate the ecologizing of universities with the present discussions on reforming higher education.
