The Glasgow Research Partnership (GRP) is an exciting and dynamic new
collaboration in Engineering research between the Universities of the
West of Scotland.
Led by the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde, with significant
niche contributions from Glasgow Caledonian University and the University
of
Paisley, the GRP will establish critical mass of research excellence
in key strategic areas of Engineering. It will confirm the West of Sctoland
as a major world centre for Engineering.
The GRP will focus its research in three Joint Research Institutes (JRIs)
that each address three key engineering research themes. The JRIs are:
- Electronic, Communications and Power Systems
- Environmental, Infrastructure and Transportation Engineering
- Mechanics of Materials, Structures and BioEngineering
The partnership is underpinned by investment of more than £31M, including
£15.7M from the Scottish Funding Council. This will support
the appointment of 25 new academic staff of world class research standing,
8 research assistants and 31 research students and will fund major investments
in
equipment
and
estates. Together with a joint graduate school and closer integration
and pooling of existing facilites this will create an unrivalled research
enviroment
to support
critical
sectors of the National economy. |
