The Advances in Cleaner Production Network (ACPN) is an international network of researchers in different disciplines involved in sustainability issues. Currently, the ACPN involves approximately 450 educational and research institutions from 51 countries in 5 continents. The partner list can be found at: http://www.advancesincleanerproduction.net/network/partner.html

Structure

The ACPN is organized in the form of network formed by Sustainability Centers, which are administered by researchers at the Paulista University (UNIP) and its partners. The Inter-University Centre for Sustainability of UNIP is connected to several Sustainability Regional Centers: University of Kent (Africa), Beijing Normal University (Asia), Firenze University (Europe), University of the Coast (South America), Illinois Institute of Technology and Manitoba University (North America) University of Sonora (Center America and Caribbean) and Deakin University (Oceania). UNIP has agreements of academic cooperation with all these universities and new partners can contact directly with any of the Sustainability Centres to join the ACPN.
