Education-Science-Values: A Triple Helix Approach to Nanotechnology Education for Sustainable Development
Keywords:
Nanotechnology, nanoeducation, specialists, higher education, universities, Sustainable Development Goals, immersive education, values, science, innovation, STEAM, NanoArtSynopsis
The field of nanotechnology has significant prospects for solving global problems of sustainable development. In Ukraine, the need for highly qualified specialists in nanoscience is exacerbated by socio-economic disruptions and the ongoing war, which requires innovative solutions to both new and existing problems. This article explores the conceptual and theoretical frameworks necessary for the effective training of nanoscience professionals in the Ukrainian context, emphasizing the integration of education, science, and values, which is called the education-science-values triple helix. This model is based on the classic “triple helix” theory of collaboration between university, industry and government, complemented by a strong ethical and sustainable orientation. We provide an in-depth analysis of how nanotechnology education can be aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as discuss specific challenges and opportunities in Ukraine's educational environment. The practical implementation of this integrative educational model is illustrated by the example of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University. This research is addressed to a broad audience, including policymakers, educators, and industry leaders, advocating a collaborative approach to reshaping nanotechnology education to produce not only skilled technologists, but conscious leaders, committed to sustainable progress. Through this framework, we emphasize creating an inclusive, barrier-free and immersive educational environment that engages students in authentic research and innovation while nurturing core values for sustainable development.
