People are central to the EAUC's work. For them, the organisation maintains networks of over 8000 sustainability professionals ready to engage in dialogue. The EAUC disseminates information and resources via newsletters, websites, social media, and its events to lead the way on project management, teaching, and operations across the sector to bring about tangible change. To meet the need for specialist learning and information sharing, the EAUC also runs a range of Communities of Practice that encourage focused and efficient networking.
