The initiative 'Reimagining university estates for a sustainable future' will explore the role that estates might play in delivering a more efficient future, leveraging AUDE’s 2024 Estates Management Report and insights from other key associations. www.aude.ac.uk/eventbooking...

We've shared two 'save the dates' this week for our Showcase (1 and 2 September, Nottingham) and Big Conversation (11 and 12 November, Lancaster) events coming later in the year. Booking will be open later in the spring but for now, why not get them in the diary?

A growing set of template policy documents is being delivered by our Strategic FM special interest group, including this, the 4th - a contractor code of conduct. All are available to AUDE members at the following link: www.aude.ac.uk/knowledge-hu...

As part of an increasing association focus on inclusive design, today we publish 'Neurodiversity - Design and management guide for Higher Education environments', one in a three-part toolkit available to members online: www.aude.ac.uk/Resources/Ne...

Today we launch booking for the Summer School 25 - our residential programme for aspiring estates leaders, this year being held at the University of Plymouth from 9-12 June. All details online, and places limited to 50 or less. www.aude.ac.uk/events/summe...

The new EMR (Estates Management Report) includes data from the 22-23 academic year. Estates operating costs are up significantly, driven by price rises in energy and insurance. What can your institution learn from this year's report? www.aude.ac.uk/emr

The new AUDE Estates Management Report (EMR) is published today. While the full version is for members only a publicly available Executive Summary can be found online at www.aude.ac.uk/emr - pdf and interactive digital platform versions can help unis with estates benchmarking. @janehw.bsky.social

Our new report on the experience of women in estates is now published and we are very grateful to those engaging with it. Download at: www.aude.ac.uk/knowledge-hu... We know it isn't always an easy read - sexism, misogyny and more. But sometimes the difficult things need saying. @janehw.bsky.social

#ImportantToMeBecause In the wake of the publication of our new report themed around the experiences of 'women in estates', AUDE Chair Syd Cottle of @liverpooluni.bsky.social reflects on why EDI is so important to him, and vital to making estates teams thrive. www.aude.ac.uk/knowledge-hu...

Today’s work doesn’t tackle an ‘ordinary’ AUDE theme, and it doesn’t do it in the usual AUDE professional language. It is more personal, more invested and more annoyed than anything you’ve seen from us before. Enormous thanks to the participants involved in the report: www.aude.ac.uk/knowledge-hu...

Big Conversation 2024 - our panel asked that we use the present opportunity to be brave about the conversations that need to happen on space. Thanks to all concerned including Amanda Levete, panel members and event chair Christian Bull of Mills & Reeve.

You'd be welcome to connect with us here & with Jane Harrison-White's account @janehw.bsky.social too. We will still be sharing all key AUDE information on LinkedIn of course. We believe the moderation on Bluesky gives it a chance of being a social space we'd all enjoy. Good to have you with us!
