Projects

The EAUC leads or is a partner to an increasing number of externally funded projects. A list of current projects can be found below. Project funding is a useful way of developing new resources which go on to have sector wide value after the funded phase ends. Being a partnership-minded organisation, the EAUC actively seeks partners with a strong long-term commitment to supporting UK universities and colleges.

The EAUC is keen to hear from members or potential partners with ideas for future projects. All project proposals are assessed by our Project Approval Scheme.
