Sumario:The Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) has a large tradition of including Sustainable Development in its technical degrees. Although UPC does not offer degrees in social sciences or humanities, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has been closely associated with all the technological degrees and the courses offered. After having achieved the integration of Sustainability and Social Commitment” in standard Subjects as a mandatory transversal competence, we are moving forward in this direction. Actually a “Sustainability Analysis” is now required as a chapter of the final report for all the bachelor theses presented at the Barcelona School of Informatics.
