Description

After a successful year of funding five higher education collaboration projects in 2009, the Sustainable Construction Innovation Network (iNet) is announcing the 2010 round of funding for collaborative research projects.
 
The Sustainable Construction iNet has allocated £250,000 of funding for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to work collaboratively with construction sector businesses across the East Midlands in 2010 to develop innovative, sustainable technologies or processes.
 
Having asked representatives of the construction industry about the challenges it currently faces and what they consider will be important in the next few years, the iNet has finalised three themes for the next round of funding:
 
How specifiers can accelerate the take-up of sustainability and set the pace for innovation and sustainability
 
How to encourage affordable solutions to improve sustainability of the existing stock
 
How to remove the barriers to increased innovation to encourage greater acceptance of sustainable technologies
How to develop and roll-out new products and processes as best practice
 
Workshops
The iNet has organised two workshops to let people know about how its funding works and explain the opportunities and benefits of working collaboratively. The workshops have been developed specifically for HEIs and businesses working in the constructions sector to come together in a lively debate to discuss their ideas in the framework of the three themes and make contacts for future collaborations.
