Does the institution have an ongoing program that offers incentives for academic staff in multiple disciplines or departments to develop new sustainability courses and/or incorporate sustainability into existing courses? :
Yes
A brief description of the incentive program(s):
Training offered to staff includes 128 sustainability courses. NUI Galway is committed to staff professional and personal development and offers LinkedIn Learning for free to all academic and non-academic staff across campus. LinkedIn Learning has over 16,000 courses where staff learn at their own pace and select only the courses and videos most relevant to their learning journey. Courses include technical, business, software, leadership, personal health, mindfulness, and creative topics but with the sustainability focus on campus many of the sustainability related courses are popular amongst staff.
To learn 24/7, staff just need to visit LinkedIn Learning and login with their NUI Galway Campus Account credentials. When completed staff receive a certificate. As an example, a search for 'climate and sustainability' on the platform yields 128 courses available to staff 24/7 at no cost. More at the link below
