The aim of the paper is to show how the aims of the politics of sustainable development could be implemented within the organizational and cultural tasks of a university. The paper is based on the contemporary tradition, called here “neo-humboldtian model of a university”, which included three missions: education, research and “the third mission” – the service for the external stakeholders. Then, the article examines how the post-humboldtian university can implement the aims of sustainable development.
