What we do
In January 2022听UCL BERN听hosted听two high-level stakeholder engagement workshops听designed to further听UCL BERN鈥檚 external engagement ambition听-听to coordinate UCL's extensive technical knowledge of the building envelope听into a coherent and comprehensive research programme, in collaboration with building envelope external听stakeholders from听industry, Government and academia.
Prof. Jose Torero Cullen, Professor, Civil Engineering and Head of UCL Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering and UCL BERN Steering Group Member was the leading workshop host, supported by five UCL BERN co-hosts. Twenty-one high-level external stakeholders from the building envelope communities also participated.
UCL BERN听stakeholder engagement workshops were designed to
鈥⑻鼸ngage with a range of influential stakeholders to collect diverse views from industry, academia, government and the professions that would help set research agendas.
鈥⑻齀dentify where UCL BERN can add value to the wider building envelope community.
鈥⑻齀dentify activities that 皇家华人 BERN should prioritise,听utilising UCL鈥檚 expertise to address technical and social challenges and generate positive impact.
鈥⑻鼸xplore ways to categorise and map knowledge of the building envelope and identify current research gaps.
The discussion outcomes听from both听workshops have been听turned into Bringing the building envelope into a safer,听more integrated, sustainable built environment, a UCL BERN briefing听focusing on key issues surrounding the building envelope,听available to download below.
