The Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) has the Information and Communication Technology Master Plan (PDTIC) to guide and monitor the performance of the Information Technology (IT) area within the institution. The IT area at UFMS has the Digital Governance Committee (CGD), responsible for drafting the Information Security Policy (PSI); the Information and Communication Technology Procurement Plan (PCTIC); the Open Data Plan (PDA); and the University's PDTIC. In addition to the Information and Communication Technology Agency (AGETIC), which is responsible for coordinating, guiding, supervising, executing, and controlling the organization's IT activities. This work aims to demonstrate that sustainability is part of both Digital Governance and the curriculum of UFMS students, focusing on the management of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) within the University. The UFMS Solid Waste and Health Services Management Plan (PGRS/PGRSS) outlines guidelines for the management of these materials, and annually, since 2017, the Faculty of Computing (FACOM) at UFMS organizes the Electronic Waste Collection Week, a project aimed at raising awareness among the academic community about disposal, reuse, and recycling, helping to conserve the environment. This action assists in the education of these students by making them protagonists in this initiative. In each edition hundreds of electronic devices have been reused by students and community, serving as an example of socio-environmental impact action. The methodology employed by UFMS to organize and advance electronic waste management efforts involved the establishment of digital governance regulations, along with sustainability management and governance practices, in order to structure and promote electronic waste management actions at UFMS.

The composting process is an alternative for recycling organic waste, facilitated by microorganisms that produce compost or organic fertilizer in the presence of oxygen. The resulting compost can be used as fertilizer, significantly improving soil structure. The “Composta UFMS” project aims to environmentally manage organic solid waste generated on the UFMS University City campus in Campo Grande. Currently, dry leaves, pruning and weeding residues, wood shaving from vivarium, and organic waste from the University Restaurant are being directed for composting. In addition to valuing organic waste generated on the UFMS campus and used in the production of organic compost for the extension activities of the UnAPI Agroecological Garden project, the Biovalorization of Organic Waste project also includes scientific initiation subprojects, such as the study of growth potential of fungi of the genus Pleurotus on substrates derived from different organic residues and their mixtures for mushroom production. In addition to Environmental Education actions in schools with the Composting and Urban Agriculture in Schools project using the composting method directly on the soil, eliminating the need for turning. These actions resulted in the year 2023, the diversion of 4 tons of wood shavings from the vivarium and 4.8 tons of organic waste from the University Restaurant for composting, the care of around 60 elderly people in the UnAPI Agroecological Garden project and 5 schools in the Compostagem and Urban Agriculture in Schools. The results of this study will serve as a basis for the management of organic waste on the UFMS Campo Grande campus, as well as for future research on composting, as well as new Environmental Education and Scientific Dissemination actions.

The Brazilian Network of Higher Education Institutions for Sustainable Development – colloquially known as UniSustentável – is a program of education, research, extension, entrepreneurship, and innovation implemented at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS). The Network aims to carry on an environment of cooperation, collaboration, exchange, and communication among member Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with the purpose of building a more sustainable society, educating people and fostering good practice in sustainability adoption. The Network will be preferably composed of Brazilian HEIs and operates on a non-profit basis, without affiliations to political parties or religious connotations. The coordination of the Network is carried out by an elected Coordinator and Coordinator-adjunct on a biennial basis, with administrative support provided by an administrative committee and a general assembly. UniSustentável is affiliated to the Alliance of Ibero-American Networks of Universities for Sustainability and the Environment (ARIUSA). Founded in September 2023 with 3 member HEIs, as of April 2024, it has expanded to include 20 HEIs located in all 5 Brazilian regions. The network's activities are organized into working groups, each overseen by a responsible HEI and comprised of staff, faculty, and students from member HEIs, as well as the potential involvement of invited experts. Despite its short existence, UniSustentável has already demonstrated that it is possible to work towards sustainability through the collaboration of HEIs.

This article examines the trajectory and advances of the Sou Mulher UFMS (“I am a Woman UFMS”) program, implemented by the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), in the context of SDG 5 – Gender Equality of the UN 2030 Agenda. Adopting a qualitative, documentary approach, the study applies thematic analysis to institutional data and strategic documents — including the Institutional Development Plan (PDI), Annual Management Reports, Institutional Committees Meetings, and Public Records from 2021 to 2024. The results reveal the program’s evolution from isolated actions to a structured institutional policy, supported by intersectoral governance, evidence-based planning, and the strengthening of institutional bodies such as the Pro-rectorate for Citizenship and Sustainability (Procids) and the Committee for People Management, Inclusion, and Affirmative Actions (CGPIA). Key achievements include greater female representation and leadership, enhanced support for maternity and paternity in academia, and reinforced mechanisms for preventing and addressing gender-based violence. The updated program for 2025–2028 sets measurable, sustainable goals to promote equity in admission, retention, and academic success for women, with attention to diversity and intersectionality. The UFMS experience offers a replicable model for other higher education institutions in Brazil and Latin America, demonstrating the transformative potential of institutionalized gender policies driven by data, participation, and strategic governance.

The Trilha Rupestre (Rocky Trail) Program, developed by the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), aims to strengthen culture and the local economy. It also fosters sustainable development in municipalities with archaeological sites and paleontological records. Focusing on the Cerrado-Pantanal ecological corridor, the program covers 90 rock art sites and 733 archaeological sites registered with the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN) in 16 municipalities. The initiative trains local communities and encourages sustainable practices, contributing to income generation while promoting environmental preservation. Structured around eight thematic axes (food, archaeology, architecture, art-ceramics, botany, geopaleontology, chemistry-pharmaceuticals, and tourism), the program promotes multidisciplinary development, integrating quality education and building more inclusive and sustainable communities. The partnership with the UNESCO Borders and Migration Chair brings a social innovation approach, combining cultural appreciation with the promotion of inclusion. Through educational and cultural actions, the program raises awareness among communities and tourists about the importance of archaeological sites, linking sustainability with the appreciation of historical heritage. The Trilha Rupestre Program is a notable example of how higher education can contribute to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.
