There are also special groups looking at particular aspects of estates management, for example at present Town and Country Planning and Facilities Management. Representatives of AUDE sit on various bodies associated with their area of activity, for example the Joint Contracts Tribunal, and the CVCP Rating Group. AUDE also has international links, in particularly with its equivalent organisation in the USA, APPA, and with colleagues in various European universities. This is the major event organised by AUDE, hosted in turn by the Regions. One representative from each institution, usually the Director of Estates or his Deputy, attends, together with representatives of the Funding Council and CVCP, and total attendance is usually around 100.
Many institutions also provide information about their estate on their own web sites.
