Delegates

Delegate booking is now available at www.eventsforce.net/eauc2016.

Under the title Learning and Legacy: The Role of Education in Creating Healthier, Happier Cities, the 2016 conference will consider the role tertiary education institutions can play in encouraging community cohesion, connecting stakeholders, driving social and business innovation and acting as a catalyst for change to influence future generations that will be inhabiting our cities. 

The two day programme will feature plenary sessions as well as optional breakouts that allow delegates to tailor their conference experience to their own needs. These workshops will be split into four categories based on the EAUC’s LiFE framework, ensuring a whole institution approach to sustainability.

The LiFE framework categories include Estates and Operations, Partnerships and Engagement, Leadership and Governance and Learning and Teaching and Research and the breakout sessions will explore sustainable issues with regard to each. With workshops submitted by colleagues working in roles across the sector, these sessions have plenty to offer university and college professionals at every level.

Networking

The conference, which is supported by headline sponsor Carbon Credentials, provides opportunities for all attendees to network during the Exhibition, as well as offering a social programme for a more relaxed atmosphere. There is a pre-conference social organised for the night prior to the conference on 24th May on campus, so if you’re planning on arriving the night before come and join us!

The annual Gala Dinner will be held on the evening on 25th May at UWE where, following a Food for Life Gold accredited three course meal, there will be entertainment so that everyone can let their hair down!

On the morning of 26th May there are activities organised on campus before the conference begins. These activities include a tour of the Whole Earth exhibition at UWE, a walk around their grounds or the choice of a relaxing Thai Chi session, and will allow attendees to explore the campus, get some fresh air, and be energised before the final conference day.
