University of Glasgow Smart Campus - Industry Engagement Event

The event has now sold out. To be added to the reserve list, please email louise.mitchell@glasgow.ac.uk

The University of Glasgow has commenced an ambitious 10 year development programme which will result in a consolidated campus covering the equivalent of 50 city blocks. With an initial capex of almost £750M, this is the largest project in the University’s history as well as a significant urban development at several levels.

The University recognises that the new campus will only deliver its full transformative potential through research partnerships and collaborations with the public, private and community sectors.

Towards this, we would like to invite you to an information and engagement event on Wednesday 4th of November 2015 in the Senate Room, Main Building of the University.

The programme for the day will:

• Introduce the University’s Smart Campus Initiative and related research programme
• Consider the research and collaboration opportunities around this
• Identify potential partnership projects
