ABSTRACT

Case study four (Chapter 7) provides an account of the work of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) in relation to sustainable development, and mention has been made on a number of occasions of continuing activity sponsored by that organisation. In particular, a consortium consisting of staff of the Policy Studies Institute, the PA Consulting Group and the Centre for Research in Education and the Environment (CREE) is, at the time of writing in 2007, engaged in research to establish a baseline of research, teaching and estates management in universities in England.
