Sustainable development consultation seminars

04 July 2008

Three consultation seminars held on the 4, 8 and 16 July 2008.

As part of the public consultation on HEFCE's 2008 sustainable development action plan HEFCE held three consultation seminars. The seminars followed the same themes and format and included the HEFCE view from a senior management speaker, a keynote institutional speaker, and an open forum discussion drawing on questions raised during breakout sessions. This consultation contributed to 'Sustainable development in higher education: 2008 update to strategic statement and action plan' (HEFCE 2009/03).'
