Abstract

This chapter, “Research and Knowledge Transfer: Linking Education and Sustainability,” investigates the crucial role of research and knowledge transfer (KT) in addressing global sustainability challenges, with a focus on transnational education. It examines how higher education institutions can advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (particularly SDG 4) by integrating research with teaching and community engagement. Drawing on frameworks like the Triple Helix and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), the chapter emphasizes applied, interdisciplinary, and collaborative approaches. It explores models for effective KT—including innovation hubs and international networks—and highlights the potential of transnational education to promote inclusive, globally relevant solutions. Barriers such as policy gaps and digital divides are discussed, alongside strategic recommendations to build a collaborative, action-oriented knowledge ecosystem for sustainability.
