EcoCampus is a national Environmental Management System (EMS) and award scheme for the higher education sector. The scheme allows universities to be recognised for addressing key issues of environmental sustainability.

The EcoCampus project is funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and is a collaborative project between Nottingham Trent University (NTU), Loreus Ltd (EMS, software development & training consultancy) and key partners, the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC) and Environmental Campaigns (ENCAMS).

The scheme will involve further developing EcoCampus as a sector specific tool for rewarding EMS implementation and will link with 10 Universities to pilot the schemes development. The scheme will run from December 2005 to December 2008.
