Abstract: The need to integrate sustainability among the skills of specialists in economics and its accreditation for the university curricula was recognized in academic literature for over twenty years. Using the literature review and documentation, the present paper identifies the key factors in the assessment of the current state of the scientific research and the practice of European universities. The prime responsibility is for economic universities to adjust curricula to meet these demands. In this sense, the paper constructs a debate on the organisation and the projection of a strategy in developing the economic education towards sustainability in higher economic education in Romania.
