The EAUC and the HE Academy ESD Project are inviting applications to join the SHED network: 'Sustainability in Higher Education Developers' and to join us at a special event on 20 January 2010 in Birmingham (see below for details).

The SHED network has two constituent parts:

The SHED Share network, convened by Arran Stibbe, is an e-mail list for the sharing of information, announcements, the posting of queries and so on. Anybody can use this network, whether or not they are active in ESD.

The SHED Act network, convened by Heather Luna, is a sub-set of the SHED Share members, allowing them to develop collaborative work more easily. SHED Act has an additional function to SHED Share, and is designed for active and key people in HE to keep in touch with each other.

Members of SHED Act can use each other, for example, as a sounding board for floating new ideas, to raise concerns, seek support for initiatives, develop responses to consultation documents, develop research proposals, or to form working groups. The EAUC and the Academy's ESD Project also use SHED Act as a form of consultation with the sector. For example, how would SHED Act advise both the EAUC and the Academy as to how best to develop new ways of leading, training and supporting your colleagues? All activities of SHED Act are reported on the HED Share e-mail list, as well as in the Academy's bi-monthly ESD e-Newsletter.

SHED Act is primarily open to staff who are working actively in the area of sustainability at UK higher and further education institutions, either directly in sustainability-related courses or in embedding sustainability across the curriculum. The moderators reserve the right to limit membership of SHED Act to new applicants who conform to these criteria, and to review the membership of existing participants who may no longer conform to the criteria, or are not participating actively in the group's activities. We also reserve the right to limit numbers in SHED Act at any one time to ensure that the network can function and does not become over large.

When you join SHED Act, you are committing yourself to putting time into working with others on the list, either by responding to or initiating actions.

The SHED sound good to you? Just enter your details at:

and the co-convenors, Heather Luna and Arran Stibbe will add you to the SHED Share list and review your application to SHED Act. You will also receive an invitation to the SHED Act meeting on 20 January 2010, for a chance to meet one another, network, and learn about funding opportunities from the HE Academy. See you inside!
