The University of Leeds and design consultant Arup have signed an agreement which will lead to collaborations in education and research.
The partnership, which will run until 2017, will see academics from the University working alongside designers, engineers and technical experts at Arup to address major challenges to society. This unique partnership will bring together engineering and social science expertise to address global problems and issues, acknowledging that many of the toughest problems are at the interface between engineering and human behaviour.
The partnership agreement will foster new thinking in sustainable and resilient business practices through research into green behaviours at work, innovative transport systems, energy reduction and efficient use of resources.
