Abstract

The sustainable development agenda can be strongly impacted by higher education institutions (HEI) and their stakeholders. With a strong impact on raising the sustainability awareness of future professionals and leaders, HEI is a driver of economic growth, at the heart of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), and in promoting sustainability. Governance can influence sustainability initiatives and the adoption of SDG initiatives can be delayed by issues of governance and organizational culture. Presenting a holistic approach to governance, this chapter aims to understand how Portuguese higher education institutions are exploring their entrepreneurial and innovative potential; more specifically, leadership and governance. Using the HEInnovate tool, a self-assessment tool for higher education institutions, and an initiative of the European Commission in partnership with the OECD, a powerful tool is presented for helping HEIs assess their current situation and identify potential areas for action.
