Dr David Grierson, Director of Research at the Department of Architecture, provided information on expertise and testing facilities for sustainable building design and refurbishment at the University of Strathclyde Glasgow. Dr Grierson said that the University of Strathclyde Glasgow had been ranked as the top university regarding the sustainability orientation of the universities’ programmes as assessed by Engineering Education for Sustainable Development (EESD) Observatory, an initiative of three of the leading EESD research universities in Europe – including the Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona (Spain), Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands) and Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) – in association with the Alliance for Global Sustainability (AGS).

Dr Branka Dimitrijevic, director of CIC Start Online, announced the call for applications for joint academic/industry feasibility studies and 10-days free academic consultancy that will be assessed by an independent panel. Submission deadline is 15th January 2010. Guidelines on how to apply and application forms are available at the Feasibility Studies and Academic Consultancy sections of this website.
