Summary/Abstract: The paper represents a theoretical-methodological research of the STEAM education and its contribution in the alignment of universities with the approach of achieving sustainability. Thus, the purpose of the research is to investigate the impact of STEAM education on the anchoring of higher education institutions on sustainability objectives. Thus, universities operating in a new context, a dynamic, disruptive one, demand from the higher education institutions an increased adaptability, as well as the adaptation of effective measures in order to achieve sustainability. However, sustainnability has become a real challenge, both for higher education institutions and for the whole society. The research methodology focused on the use of a set of research methods, such as: induction, deduction, abduction, scientific abstraction, systemic method, qualitative research, etc. In the conclusions, we can highlight that every university that claims to be competitive, to attract students, is obliged to identify the most relevant measures to align with the approach of achieving sustainability. New study programs, new courses and learning units, new thematic contents integrated into the curricula of the course units, will help the universities to harmoniously anchor its objectives, the approach to achieving sustainability.
