Event at the Robert Gordon University on 5th November 2009

Dr Bassam Bjeirmi, Associate Head of Scott Sutherland School of Architecture, welcomed over 30 delegates from the industry, local authorities and professional associations. Prof. Richard Laing gave a presentation on expertise and facilities for sustainable building design and refurbishment available at the School, the recent research in this area and the collaboration with the industry. The delegates’ comments on the event were very positive, one of them saying that the collaboration that will be established between academia and the industry “should have been initiated twenty years ago”. 

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.

The talks were followed by networking sessions for businesses and researchers to identify opportunities for collaboration.
