Why sponsor us
More than sponsorship – an opportunity to shape sustainable construction.
By supporting the programme, organisations can contribute to the development of sustainable construction skills, while gaining visibility and access to an international network of professionals, experts and emerging leaders.
Sponsorships also creates opportunities to share expertise, support applied learning and help shape the competencies and practices needed to accelerate sustainable construction globally.
The built environment accounts for a major share of global emissions, yet the sector faces a growing shortage of professionals equipped to lead the transition. By supporting the CAS in Sustainability in the Built Environment, your organisation helps close that gap, while gaining visibility and access to an international community of built-environment professionals. Support the skills the built environment urgently needs, become a sponsor.
Sponsorship and partnership opportunities
There are three main ways to support the CAS programme. Each route can be tailored to your organisation’s objectives, from programme-wide strategic involvement to module-specific knowledge partnership or scholarship support.

Strategic Partner
Strategic Partners participate in shaping the programme and influencing the wider sustainable construction sector. This route offers programme-wide visibility, a seat on the extended scientific committee and the opportunity to contribute case studies, insights and selected module content, subject to academic validation.
Strategic Partners also support direct impact through tuition scholarships, including places for Global South participants and candidates nominated by the partner organisation. In return, they gain premium presence across the Knowledge Hub, events and visibility activities, and full access to the programme’s community and talent network.
Knowledge Partner
Knowledge Partners sponsor a specific module and contribute expertise in a defined subject area. This may include selected case studies, real-world insights, talks or assignments linked to the sponsored module, subject to validation by the module lead and scientific committee.
This route gives partners visibility in communications connected to the module, opportunities to speak at relevant partner-university events, and access to the module cohort. It is designed for organisations that want to share expertise, strengthen their positioning and engage with participants around a focused area of sustainable construction.
Tuition Scholarship Sponsor
Tuition Scholarship Sponsors help professionals access the programme where training opportunities are limited. This is the most direct route to supporting capacity building, global equity in education and practical implementation in priority regions.
Scholarships start from €5,500 per participant, with reductions available for larger commitments. Sponsors support real-world skills development while gaining access to sponsored participants and demonstrating commitment to fair transition, ESG goals and sustainable construction capacity building.
