Driven by intrinsic and extrinsic commitment to sustainable development (SD) since 2009, the University of Bern has pursued the integration of SD into research, operations, and teaching. In the latter, it has set itself the objective of integration throughout all study programmes. We present how monitoring this integration has been re-conceived to enable greater adoption of SD by lecturers and faculties, while respecting the principle of academic freedom. This has been possible through efficient use of the macro, meso, and micro levels of action and responsibility, and by offering safe spaces for collaborative learning.
