Abstrakt: The Conference of University Presidents (CPU) and the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles (CGE) established a common tool, incorporating uses and specific missions of institutions: governance, education, research, social policy, local integration and environmental management sites. Then, the research question is: how to place an integrated approach to sustainable development in the strategy of LaSalle Beauvais as this institute is an intermediate institution with academic research, development programs and direct connections with companies and territorial activities? This paper reviews the concept of sustainability in Higher Education institutions and shows the actions which were implemented at all levels of our Institute and the encountered difficulties by combining two complementary methods (qualitative and quantitative) to respond to this question. It is the first time in the literature that the analysis of new perspectives on management, practices in teaching and research about sustainability in an engineer higher school is reported.
