The OECD Programme on Educational Building (PEB) promotes the exchange and analysis of policy, research and experience in all matters related to educational building. The planning and design of educational facilities – schools, colleges and universities – has an impact on educational outcomes which is significant but hard to quantify. Building and running those facilities accounts for a substantial part of public educational expenditure in OECD countries.

This conference will examine how buildings should respond to continuous change in higher education to meet the needs of developing styles of learning, research, innovation and knowledge transfer. Starting with an evaluation of change as it affects higher education, the conference will focus on the spaces where learning, innovation and knowledge transfer take place, be it in inside, outside or in between classrooms, offices, research laboratories, clubs and cafés.

Higher education institutions (HEIs) in England will benefit from a new fund to provide repayable grants for projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Projects funded under the new scheme will reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, from both existing and new buildings, and enable HEIs to save money in the long term and to benefit from carbon trading. Projects might include better energy management, on-site renewable energy generation, waste management, and sustainable construction and refurbishment.
