It is composed of permanent teachers and researchers from the University of Girona.It also includes doctoral students working on their theses with predoctoral contracts, supervised by established members of the group, and other postdoctoral researchers who have been awarded competitive grants.As collaborators, we have external experts, some of whom are adjunct lecturers, and international experts who maintain regular contact with group members.

GRECA brings together many common areas of knowledge within the field of education.Initially, the research focused on environmental and sustainability education, and we quickly established contact with other Catalan and Spanish universities embarking on similar paths (Autonomous University of Barcelona, ​​Autonomous University of Madrid, University of Granada, University of Santiago de Compostela), as well as with universities abroad.Through an international project, we positioned ourselves as the first group to define the concept and details of curriculum greening in the university setting, through the ACES Network (5 European and 6 Latin American universities), and many other groups have followed suit.We soon met and received training from two world-renowned figures in the field of environmental education: Dr. Daniella Tilbury, who later received an honorary doctorate from the University of Granada, and Dr. Lucie Sauvé from Canada.

Over the years, we have increased the number of researchers from diverse fields of knowledge and have expanded into the areas of social and natural environment, heritage, citizenship, mathematics, language, social responsibility, social and environmental anthropology and teacher training—the latter being the overarching theme that unites and connects us all.Each of us contributes from our respective backgrounds, and we share a common desire for transformative education that leads us to sustainability and the 2030 Agenda, working in all our respective fields and seeking what unites us through sustainability.The group comprises a good number of established teaching staff and teaching staff who are beginning their academic careers, in an appropriate proportion.As we have already mentioned, the group has benefited from distinguished international collaborators from the beginning, and now, more than ever, the teaching staff pursuing their academic careers are organising activities with new collaborators and new researchers.The Group aims to make an impact on the territory, from the Girona region to the world, by undertaking research, contracts and collaborating with local agents and researchers from near and far.
