How do we frame Campus contribution to sustainability?
Students & sustainable experiences
A niche within a traditional University regime?
Some examples
Four organizational design issues
A preliminary framework
10. Leadership and governance
What team do we need to pilot the process in terms of
capabilities, leadership style...?
โFrom Egosystems to
Ecosystemsโ
11. Structure: a network organization
How to create new spaces that really promote cross-unit
relationships, fostering a sense of community and an open
culture of trust?
A networked organization isโฆ
More than a โsexyโ organization chart based on nodes and links.
More than a word that is repeated insistently.
An enabling, organic space where interactions are crucial,
โฆ where processes and management systems are far from
bureaucracies,
โฆ where strategic behaviour is far from formal planning, reinforcing
emergent strategies.
12. Incentives
Which are the incentives that we really have at our disposal
to stimulate internal collaboration?
3 Ms:
โข Meaning
โข Mastery
โข Membership
When only intrinsic
motivators are available
13. Identities
How to wear two or three hats simultaneously (belonging to
a node, to a cluster and to a network)?
A new institutional framework had to be negotiated
(former institutional options -institutes and research
centres- were not conceived for networked
institutions)
14. Some sources of inspiration
Multi Level Perspective (Geels, 2012)
Regenerative sustainability (Robinson, 2014)
Interdisciplinarity and the โstar modelโ (Bursztyn, 2013)
โDesign, when everybody designsโ (Manzini, 2015)

20. Two universities: technical and social science
ร Interdisciplinary
Partnership university-corporate
Open sessions โ open knowledge
Master Degree as ecosystem
27. Testimony: โAn amazing experience
both from academic and human
perspective, thanks to the method to
build upon knowledge sharingโ
28. itdUPM today (after 4 years)
Growing figures: more than 200 members; increasing
budget, high numbers of applicants to the Master Degree
A wide international network (companies, NGOs,
international agencies, other universitiesโฆ)
And a new infrastructure designed as an enabling and
collaborative spaces
29. Final thoughts
Sustainable ecosystem?
ร How to increase collective leadership?
ร How to implement efficient incentives?
Long term impact on behaviour?
ร From concrete experience to systemic change
How to measure this impact?
ร Do we need other form of measuring?
