Communities of Practice

EAUC is committed to supporting our Members to exchange ideas, skills and experience. Our network now comprises over 5,500 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 (CoP) to support focused and efficient networking.

If you are a student or staff at a student union that would be interested in joining a CoP, please email info@eauc.org.uk, specifiying whether you're a student/at a student union and please tell us why you wish to join the CoP. Find resources for students here.
