Communities of Practice

The EAUC is committed to supporting our Members to exchange ideas, skills and experience. Our network now comprises over 3,000 colleagues in universities, colleges and learning and skills institutions. To encourage more specialist learning and information sharing, we seek out and launch a range of Communities of Practice to support focused and efficient networking.

The success of these groups is crucial to the EAUC's delivery of its mission and vision so we have recently reviewed the role of these groups and the vital support we must offer them to allow them to function efficiently and to offer wider Membership value. We have outlined an EAUC groups strategy to clearly communicate this.

Scotland based groups

Scotland’s universities and colleges have publicly declared their intention to address the challenges of climate change and reduce their carbon footprints by signing the Universities and Colleges Climate Commitment for Scotland (UCCCfS) - this programme is delivered by the EAUC and funded by the Scottish Funding Council. As part of this, Topic Support Networks (TSN) were created to facilitate groups of people working together on a specific sustainability subject that is relevant to Scottish colleges and universities.

There are 8 Topic Support Networks - find out more
