10 Things You Need to Know Now
04 August 2022 Martin Higgs, Communications Officer
With so much going on in the sustainability space we are all at risk of missing vital news, or of our chance to learn from a relevant project, or to be involved, and perhaps worst of all we are in danger of committing our own institutional spend towards answering questions that are already being solved elsewhere. In AUDE’s new regular ‘10 Things to Know Now’ Sustainability News we’ll be trying to steer you to the latest and most useful information from across the sector.
Phase 3 of the Public Sector Low Carbons Skills Fund process was open for a 24 hour period from 15-16 June but closed rapidly after an oversubscription of high quality applications. If yours was one of them you should expect an outcome notification by 31 August.
AUDE Business Partner SSE Energy Solutions contributed to the AUDE Estates Management Group Conference (20/21 June) with a case study based on their work at the University of Surrey – decarbonisation, heat systems, solar generation, biodiversity, academic research and more
For those of you that were unable to attend one of our ‘Road to Net Zero’ regional sessions this summer, also delivered with the support of SSE, the presentation (which happens to be from our Bath Spa session but is widely applicable) is available for members to view. Other case studies were drawn from a wide variety of member universities and the list of those currently available includes…
…and we are also very happy to share the presentation ‘Decarbonising the university’ from Richard Smith, Head of Environmental Sustainability at the University of Manchester
