Sharing 2011 excellence

With 240 applications in 2011, a rise of 25% from 2010, the Green Gown Awards are firmly established as prestigious recognition of sustainability excellence in the further and higher education sectors. 

With sustainability a mainstream core business agenda, it is right that universities and colleges recognise the potential and responsibility that they have to make the appropriate changes in order to meet the needs of our future green economy and society.

It is therefore all the more important the whole sector learns from the successes of the Green Gown Awards’ winning and commended entries. This will be assisted by the support and encouragement of the Green Gown Awards’ partners and sponsors, and the quality assurance provided by the rigorous assessment of applications by independent judges with great experience in the sector or the category topics. 

A key part of the EAUC's role is to ensure that the Green Gown Awards continue to go from strength to strength and that Members see increased dissemination of good practice - thus reflecting value added approach to Membership. These resources help colleagues achieve more from the Green Gown Awards in the future.

We're also pleased to be able to share the excellence demonstrated by the Australasian Green Gown Awards in 2011. View their case study videos here.

We were overwhelmed by the number of institutions eagerly wanting to share their experiences and help you on your own journey to excellence. We share them with you here via case studies and videos:
