AUDE - Annual Conference 2026 - Industrious and Wise

20th - 22nd April 2026

Location: University of Leeds

It’s what our universities need of us: maximum industry and maximum wisdom in learning and applying those learned lessons to the often immensely complicated situations in which we find ourselves. Industry without wisdom can mean rushing headlong, without sufficient plan or strategy. Wisdom without industry can mean ideas are developed that never leave the page. The AUDE annual conference 2026 is where the two meet, where action is informed by insight, and where insight leads to action.

AUDE: The UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard: From Net Zero ambition to measurable delivery

13th May 2026

Location: online via TEAMS

Universities across the UK have publicly declared net zero ambitions, setting targets for carbon reduction across their estates as part of wider institutional sustainability strategies. As scrutiny from students, funders and regulators increases, the challenge for estates teams is not just about setting ambition but demonstrating credibility and consistency in how “net zero” is defined and delivered at a building level.
