Our People
The ICEC-MCM team, led by UCL, united 6 UK universities and 60+ partners across industry and government to research transitioning to a Circular Economy.
The UKRI Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Mineral-based Construction Materials (ICEC-MCM) team was led by University College London (UCL), together with five other UK universities, Loughborough University, University of Leeds, Lancaster University, University of Sheffield, Imperial College London, and the British Geological Survey (BGS). Our multidisciplinary collaboration between 28 academic investigators was supported by a network of more than 60 national and international partners from across the construction industry (clients, designers, contractors, suppliers, consultants), local and national government, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other academics.
