Submit applications to the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC) by 12 June.
The Green Gown Awards recognise exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges across the UK.
They are run by the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC), a not-for-profit charity with a membership of over 300 universities and colleges, which supports sustainability within the UK tertiary education sector.
