Thanks to funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the Sustainability Exchange was born. This has lead to a wealth of information being available on this information portal for those working on sustainability in England whether it is in higher or further education. It is a place for colleagues in different institutions and organisations to share their sustainability experiences via an active news feed, events diary, best practice guides, tool kits, reports, research, webinars and videos.
Despite the funded period ending, the EAUC is committed to driving this innovative information portal forward - making it relevant to the specific challenges faced by staff at institutions wherever they are in the country.
These new and exciting relationships are designed to put sustainability at the forefront of tertiary education in England, and to provide institutions and their staff with the tools they need to achieve it. We will be continuing to work hard to promote sustainability in tertiary education throughout England and why we are increasing our Partners and resources all the time.
