Established in 2004 in the UK and Ireland, the Green Gown Awards recognise the exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges.
The Green Gown Awards are delivered by EAUC and each region is governed by a local cross-agency steering group. The judging panel is made up of representatives of sector organisations relevant to each region.
The awards grow every year and have an increasing international presence. Following the huge success of the UK and Ireland Awards, the Green Gown Awards Australasia were established in 2010 and the International Green Gown Awards in 2014.
Help us tell the world about climate-crisis solutions from students and their universities.
We believe the Green Gown Awards have a place to highlight and celebrate the exemplary, and often overlooked, efforts of students and institutions around the world as they undertake inspiring work to tackle the global climate action agenda.
