Recipients of UEA's Excellence in Teaching Award or a National Teaching Fellowship become University Teaching Fellows. Our community of practice supports the mission of the University's Academic Directors, enhancing the teaching of all colleagues by showcasing excellent practice and facilitating its wider adoption. In collaboration with the student union and other student partners, we aim to enrich UEA's diverse student body experience and education. UEA's teaching fellows enjoy international renown across a broad range of disciplines and pedagogical specialties and are sought after as speakers and consultants. At its heart, the scheme is focused on continuing professional development, and fellows are supported to engage extensively with conferences and training opportunities. The UEA Sustainable Ways banner covers a diverse range of actions and issues at UEA. The Sustainable Ways vision is a resilient university – where efficient use of resources and self-generated energy support low carbon goals, enhanced by a vibrant community of staff and world-leading researchers, connected students, and inspired graduates.
At UEA, we are working to create a university that will be even better in the future. The UEA Sustainable Ways vision is a resilient university – where consumption is efficient and self-generated energy supports low carbon goals, supported by a vibrant community of world-leading researchers and inspired graduates. At a basic level, sustainable development at UEA means that we balance the 'three pillars' of environmental, economic, and social elements. We challenge our environmental impact through on-site energy generation and a district heating and cooling network, reducing our reliance on grid electricity and, therefore, fossil fuels. We promote and use recycled and 'eco' products, such as biological cleaning materials. We champion local suppliers and ethical causes, including Fairtrade and vegan products. We seek to ensure value for money in a holistic, whole-life costing sense in our new buildings and procurement contracts.
