We are encouraged to take both the Copernicus Alliance, and EAUC's LiFE (Learning in Future Environments), seriously, as major initiatives supporting sustainability and learning, and I have no doubt that, for those involved, there is something to be gained by membership. But those involved seem as rare as a Vice Chancellor who's got a good word to say about ESD.
Building on what remained of the Copernicus Campus, the Alliance currently has 19 members across Europe, more than a third of which are in Austria (with over half of these in Graz). Similarly (although over a shorter time, and only in the UK) LiFE has 17 university members signed up. Who will be the first to 25, I wonder?
My money (though not much of it) is on LiFE as it seems to have more to offer institutions, even if they are ponderously slow to appreciate this.
