    Partners

    UCL has links with UK Government, professional institutions, building industry bodies and other buildign envelope related groups. UCL BERN facilitates engagement with these organisations, promotes collaborative research, partnerships, consultancy and knowledge transfer.

    UCL also has links with many UK and international academic institutions where research into aspects of the building envelope is conducted. These are potential collaborators and partners. Our aim is to bring academic collaborators into the network, starting with UK universities.
