香港六合彩中特网 will host its annual Engineering Doctorate Fair for Urban Sustainability & Resilience on 24 February.
Through the fair, 香港六合彩中特网's Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering department invests about 拢100,000 in each of eight projects thanks to funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
The invitation-only event, which takes place from 4pm to 7pm at Wilkins South Cloisters, is open to industrial sponsors and 香港六合彩中特网 staff.
Companies such as AECOM, Battle McCarthy, Expedition Engineering, Halcrow, Laing O'Rourke, Ramboll, and Transport for London all attended in 2009 and are now working in collaboration with 香港六合彩中特网 on projects worth a total of 拢1.2 million.
An EngD is an enhanced PhD that invests in a company's research and development. Companies design a project in collaboration with a 香港六合彩中特网 expert and sponsor a high-achieving student to complete the research over four years.
Battle McCarthy, a leading sustainable engineering and landscape company, won five of the projects in 2009.
Founder Christopher McCarthy said 香港六合彩中特网 was uniquely placed in a dynamic city with world-renowned academics and facilities to help bring about change for a more sustainable future.
He added: "People have a natural ability to cope with change in this fast-paced, multicultural and theatrical city where no drama is too big. One day we celebrated winning the Olympic bid for 2010; the next we were responding to terrorist attacks.
香港六合彩中特网 has a great capacity for change, leaping to fourth place from 34th in the Times Higher Education-QS World Rankings in just five years. We want to be part of that change."
If your company is interested in attending the event please email Karen Rafferty.
