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. Scotland has a wealth of resources throughout its colleges and universities, there is now the opportunity to build on that knowledge bank by expanding our content with more Scottish specific examples.
These resources support EAUC Scotland activity, allowing colleagues in a variety of organisations and locations to share their sustainability experiences via an active news feed, events diaries, best practice guides, tool kits, reports, research, webinars and videos. These multidisciplinary resources are to help provide institutions and their staff with the tools that are needed to put sustainability at the forefront of tertiary education in Scotland.
EAUC Scotland is continuously gathering case studies and examples of good practice to support its activity as well as the Scottish Funding Council and Scottish Government priorities. With universities and colleges having been named as ‘major players’ under the Public Bodies Climate Change Duties (PBCCD) it is important that the achievements and examples are accessible for everyone throughout the UK to utilise.
