abstract = {We are currently facing a potential ‘polycrisis’, a critical inflection point that requires a
holistic response aimed at building collective foresight and preparedness for short-, medium-, and
long-term risks. The role of higher education institutions and social stakeholders is decisive for
sustainability goals. This paper presents a case study where academia, governance, and industry
have aligned to challenge, inspire, and encourage universities to enhance student growth and bind
macro-scale measures leading to a sustainable future. A teaching innovation project has served as
a transforming lever, in combination with the private sector, to create a platform that reaches more
than 50,000 undergraduate students and teaching staff. This structure, rooted in the 2031 Strategic
Plan of the University of Granada, has also served to channel local and regional initiatives, establish
effective partnerships with broad social members, raise awareness, and promote actions to advance
in the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals. A comprehensive overview is provided, which
details its chronology, materials, results, challenges, impact, and descriptions of the various courses,
programs, and actions. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research, policy and
cooperation among stakeholders.},
