Our History

The Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges was launched in 1996 with the aim of raising the profile of environmental management and facilitate improvement of environmental performance in member institutions.

Initially this was achieved through:

Providing a forum for the sharing of experiences and information between individuals from different colleges and universities.
Disseminating good practice on environmental issues, campus greening and curriculum greening.

The Association has developed its services over time to support its members in increasingly pressured jobs. The EAUC aims to ensure that its members have access to important information relating to environmental legislation, technologies, best practice and research to enable each university and college to improve its environmental performance.

The EAUC became a Registered Charity (Number: 1106172) and an Incorporated Limited Company (Number: 5183502) in 2004.
