The Integrated Research System for Sustainability Science (IR3S) defines sustainability science as “an academic discipline that seeks to understand the interactions between global, social and human systems, and proposes comprehensive solutions and ideas for sustainability” (Komiyama and Takeuchi, 2006: 3). Based on this definition, IR3S has been engaged in research, education and industry collaboration in its mission to build this new academic discipline. In the field of education, IR3S has also made efforts to develop a curriculum for graduate-level courses in sustainability science and to implement an education programme using that curriculum.
