Collaborate for net zero

In person only event,

Registration is from 10.15am, programme starts at 10.45am

This CPD seminar will be a joint event between IStructE, RIAS and CIBSE where we will be looking at how Scotland’s multidisciplinary design teams are working together collaboratively towards Net Zero within the construction industry.

The seminar will provide useful CPD for engineers, construction professionals and architects at various stages of their careers from new graduates, those working towards chartered membership and for our more experienced members looking to stay abreast of current best practice.

The seminar will be held at the Engine Shed in Stirling where there will be an opportunity to look around the building which is Historic Environment Scotland’s dedicated building conservation centre. As a hub of digital innovation and heritage science, it is home to specialist labs.

Programme - please note we will start promptly at 10.45am.
