the EUPN PermaHub certification
Welcome to the European Permaculture Network’s (EuPN) Permahub Certification process. We understand the importance of recognizing and encouraging permaculture projects that have made significant strides in sustainability, community development, and ecological restoration. Therefore, EuPN is proud to introduce our certification process that aims to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of permaculture projects.
What is the EUPN PermaHub certification?
EuPN Permahub certification is a credential awarded to projects that have demonstrated a commitment to permaculture principles through their actions and contributions. This certification indicates that a project has met specific criteria including hosting events, and maintaining an active profile.

To be eligible for the EuPN Permahub Certification the following points are necessary:
- Have an account at this website.
- Have a project with all the required fields filled in.
- Have at least 2 events per year associated with the project (either within the past 12 months or within the current calendar year).
- Have an associated user in your project with the “PDC” field ticked in their profile.
The certification process
