Based on Arnim Wiek, Withycombe and Redman’s “Key competencies in sustainability: a reference framework for academic program development” (2011), a mandated work group at Université Laval produced an evaluation grid for courses and programs. These grids have been submitted to teachers responsible for specific courses and heads of programs in order to make an inventory of courses and programs related to sustainability.
