Title: The Austrian Network "Ecologising Schools" (ECOLOG)
Subtitle:
Abstract:

This articles describes the Austrian ECOLOG programme and network as an example of a nation-wide school network in the field of education for sustainable development. Embedded in social network theories, this network aims at greening Austrian schools. The network was established in 1996 and includes 450 schools today (in 2015). Evaluation results show that communication, the head teachers, the backing of the initiative by the Ministry of Education as well as the openness of the concept are important factors that support the network. The article concludes with some advantages and challenges of the development and maintenance of networks in general.
