• Abstract summary: The Finnish National Smart Campus project seeks to bridge the gap by orchestrating a SC ecosystem where eight SC collaborate to bring trailblazing services to businesses and society. This study used a participatory workshop to identify the challenges of SC, provide a step-by-step guide on how to identify other relevant stakeholders, and ascertain the perceived sustainability impact.

• Abstract: Universities are racing towards making their campuses and cities smart in response to the global digitalization trend. However, the sustainability impact of Smart Campus research, development, and innovation services on other relevant stakeholders such as the small and medium-sized businesses, remain under-investigated. The Finnish National Smart Campus project seeks to bridge this gap by orchestrating a SC ecosystem where eight SC collaborate to bring trailblazing services to businesses and society. To maximize the sustainability impact of the SC ecosystem, this study used a participatory workshop to identify the challenges of SC, provide a step-by-step guide on how to identify other relevant stakeholders, and ascertain the perceived sustainability impact using one of the SC ecosystems RDIs as a case study. The preliminary results revealed that barriers to university-industry ecosystem development include (i), the lack of clarity in the shared goals (i.e., value proposition) between actors and (ii), weak stakeholder involvement in university RDI processes. Finally, this paper proposed a SC ecosystem model which offers a mindset shift for higher educational institutions in promoting the convergence of SC services and sustainability to support the sustainable development of Finnish-based SMEs.

  The UK Research and Innovation Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) needs to operate sustainably in the future. This article presents the results of a research programme to give voice to the ground-level stakeholders of the DRI ecosystem. We find that giving a purposeful voice to the stakeholders for shaping their own future sustainable DRI environment can be achieved by a guided, expert-integrated, interactive and problem-focused workshop series.

  GovSim is a generative simulation platform designed to study strategic interactions and cooperative decision-making in large language models (LLMs) We find that all but the most powerful LLM agents fail to achieve a sustainable equilibrium in GovSim, with the highest survival rate below 54%. We show that agents that leverage "Universalization"-based reasoning, a theory of moral thinking, are able to achieve significantly better sustainability.
