Although, a set of facilitating elements of the process that have to do with the generation of synergies and interpersonal and interinstitutional work networks overcome these obstacles, and favor a change in the management models and teaching practice that make this project, an innovative initiative to exploit and expand to other contexts ; La formación del profesorado universitario en Educación para la Sostenibilidad es una prioridad para dotar de calidad a las universidades y dar respuesta, desde este ámbito, a las problemáticas socioambientales enmarcadas en la Agenda 2030 a través de los Objetivos para el Desarrollo Sostenible.
